A triple substitution just before the hour-mark saw Elliot, Fabinho and Mane depart with Naby Keita, Jordan Henderson and new-signing Diaz enter. Happy days." "You cannot come here and hope you have a brilliant day, and that's the only chance of getting a result," Klopp told BT Sport. "We had not a brilliant day, but a good enough day to be the deserved winner."
Inter looked like the better team at times on Wednesday, but they'll head to Anfield with a two-goal deficit.
We've played many excellent matches during the season, but we've never come up against a team of the quality of Liverpool before." Inter Milan will now go to Anfield next month (streaming on Paramount+), needing two goals to have any chance of advancing to the Champions League quarterfinals. "I congratulated the team on their performance, we would have deserved more but what we showed tonight should bode well for what comes in the future. Inzaghi expressed his regret in the post-match interview: "We hope that we don't have to face Liverpool in every match. In the first-leg loss, Inter Milan again displayed a worrying trend. Edin Dzeko and Lautaro Martinez, especially, were not clinical enough in front of the net.
Roberto Firmino's impact substitution and Virgil van Dijk's crucial defending ensured Liverpool staved off a tough Inter Milan side at San Siro.
MF Harvey Elliott, 6 -- Elliott tried to make things happen when in possession, though sometimes he could have done more to keep the ball. After a slow start to the second half, he was replaced by Jordan Henderson. A crucial intervention stopped the ball getting to Lautaro Martinez in the second half as the Netherlands captain kept an intensive attack at bay. Lost track of Perisic early in the second half whose cross was fired into a perilous area. Liverpool were sloppy at times and conceded possession too easily in dangerous areas, with Internazionale aggressively able to get to the ball and begin attacks. Ivan Perisic found space time and time again, and that saw Klopp trigger a triple substitution to gain back some control of the match.

Fraser said at a news conference Wednesday “they have a number of different players that can hurt you in different ways.” “As you develop throughout your career, you have to switch from the national team back to club,” Kaye said. We’ve tried to familiarize ourselves with all the different looks that they can put out.” “They have interesting players, good size up front, good speed up front, some crafty players and we’ve been watching them very closely for a number of weeks now. … But, it’s one of the things that I really enjoy most about this team, they just get on with it.” If, at the end of two legs the aggregate is tied, the winner will advance based on the most away-goals scored in regulation.
As Liverpool return to the San Siro in the Champions League last 16, Mo Stewart looks at how Inter are shaping up after a pair of bruising domestic battles.
Inzaghi's men have the chance to complete a league and cup double for the first time since they made it a treble with the Champions League in 2009-10. In the Champions League group stage against Real Madrid, Inter were unable to score a goal, let alone secure a point from either fixture. The smart money still says the Nerrazurri will defend their Scudetto, but these last two results mean that they can't put domestic matters to bed in a way that could have been possible had Napoli and AC Milan been defeated. Of the rest, only Arturo Vidal has even played in the final, with Juventus in 2015. As they prepare to face Liverpool in the first leg of a highly-anticipated Champions League last 16 tie, Inter's inability to win their biggest games this season comes into sharper focus. The famous cliché says a week is a long time in football, but for Inter Milan, perhaps that needs to be extended.
