Liverpool vs Inter Milan LIVE!
Liverpool suffered their first Anfield defeat in a year after a 1-0 defeat to 10-man Inter Milan but still progressed to the quarter-finals of the Champions League courtesy of their two-goal first-leg advantage.
Lautaro Martinez’s 61st-minute goal had given the visitors a chance of overturning the deficit but Alexis Sanchez’s red card for a second bookable offence less than two minutes later proved to be a decisive blow to Inter’s hopes of a comeback as they were knocked out 2-1 on aggregate.
Liverpool should have put the result beyond doubt as Mohamed Salah hit both posts in the second half, after Joel Matip had also been denied by the woodwork before the break.
But in keeping with what was, for periods, not the easiest of nights against the Serie A champions, Jurgen Klopp’s side saw things out to reach a fourth quarter-final in five years despite losing their 100 per cent record in the competition this season.
