Liverpool capacity for Inter Milan explained as Champions League change made

Liverpool will play in front of a half-empty stadium when they resume their Champions League campaign later this month.

The Reds travel to Italy to take on Serie A leaders Inter Milan in their round of 16 first leg tie on Wednesday, February 16.

The Guiseppe Meazza Stadium, known more commonly as the San Siro, is one of the largest club stadiums in Europe with a capacity in excess of 80,000.

However, local coronavirus restrictions mean the stadium will be operating only at 50% capacity.

It means Liverpool have been given an allocation of only 2,180 tickets for the match against Inter.

This is the second time the Reds have appeared at the San Siro this season, having met AC Milan in their final group game in December.

A crowd of 56,237 watched as goals from Mohamed Salah and Divock Origi earned Jurgen Klopp's side a 2-1 victory.

Full details on the sale of tickets for the Inter game can be found on the official Liverpool website.
