Inter plays, attacks, tries, but in the end Liverpool wins the quarter-finals of the Champions League. The cold summary, after all, is this and it is now a constant in Italy and Europe which has also become a concern for Simone Inzaghi’s team. Klopp celebrated at the San Siro, who thanks to two flares from Firmino and Salah sees the turn pass after 75 minutes, however, the English and not the Nerazzurri suffer a little. But, as has already happened many times this season, Inter paid the price for the lack of vitality of the attackers, as well as the inaccuracy of the trocar. And in the end, having squandered all the waste, it crumbles relentlessly. record
A scenario that has already been seen, it remains only in the Champions League, this season for example against Real Madrid, but not only. With one foot out of Europe and forced to chase Milan in the league, the Nerazzurri’s reaction will now be essential straight from Sunday’s game against Sassuolo. In the cold of San Siro (the temperature is close to zero), Inter started playing openly and created the first challenging stakes. The first occasion is actually the Nerazzurri, with a right-footed shot from Lautaro that slid to the side of the goal. For the British, Mane replies immediately, whose head ends high. The dangers that Simone Inzaghi’s men face during the construction phase pay off, because, in the absence of a few mistakes the Reds haven’t exploited, the hosts become much more dangerous. The best chance comes in one of several defeats for Perisic, who found Calhanoglio alone in the area with a low cross: but the Turkish left-back hit the crossbar in front of Alisson after being knocked out. Liverpool hit back with Mane trying to reverse it without finding the door. In the second half, Klopp immediately plays the Firmino card, which is thrown into the fight for the dead Gotta. But Inter still came out better from the locker rooms, which caused more than a few problems for the English defense: However, on two occasions Vidal and Perisic failed to serve Lautaro in the best possible way, and thus failed to seize the opportunities that the Nerazzurri created with the game. Klopp tries to change the challenge off the bench again with entries from Keita, Henderson and Luis Diaz, while Dzeko scored but is clearly offside. Only Luis Diaz makes his team wake up, by entering the area that Skriniar locks in at the last minute. Liverpool is also regaining strength thanks to the changes and Inzaghi is trying to respond with Sanchez, who came in place of Lautaro. New opportunities arrive for the Nerazzurri, as Dzeko misses a beautiful pass from Vidal while Dumfries header fails to find the door in the corner. However, at Inter’s best moment, Liverpool pass, with what may not be their best weapon: in a corner in fact, Firmino expects Bastoni and the English lead with the first shot in the mirror of the whole match. Inter tries to respond immediately, but Perisic’s right-footed shot ends high. However, this is the last fire of the Nerazzurri’s offensive line, and the Reds, as a great team, are taking advantage of that to close out the match and possibly qualifying accounts as well. Thanks to Salah’s claw, whose left hand swerved into the net behind Handanovic. Inter still receive applause from the San Siro, but are laughing at Liverpool, who will only have to finish the speech at Anfield on March 8 for the second leg: the Nerazzurri will need something more than an achievement.
Salzburg and Bayern Munich 1-1 (1-0) in the first leg of the 16th round of the European Champions League. The Austrians took the lead with Adamo in the 21st minute, and the Bavarians tied Koeman in the 45th minute. record
