In the early hours of tomorrow morning, the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals will ignite the flames, and the Reds Liverpool will sit at home to face Serie A champions Inter Milan. A 2-0 away win in the first leg gave the Reds the initiative, and Inter needed a miracle if they wanted to turn the tables against the wind.
Historical data is clearly not very friendly to Inter, and in the 41 first-leg first-leg series that have appeared in the Champions League, only one has seen a second-leg reversal of promotion, that is, Manchester United in the 18/19 season.
It is not difficult to see from Inter Milan's performance in the Champions League group stage in the past three seasons that their ability to cope with high-end rounds is far from enough, and they have not been able to win in a total of 6 legs against Barca and Real Madrid.
Liverpool, on the other hand, have reached the final twice in the past four seasons and won the championship, remaining unbeaten in the last 15 matches in all competitions, and the league has been seven consecutive wins.
In addition, Liverpool have enough advantages to make Inter milan despair, that is, they have played in the Champions League for five consecutive seasons under Klopp, during which time they have lost only one game at Home Anfield.
It was the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals of the 19/20 season, with Liverpool losing 2-3 at home to Atletico Institut in extra time and being eliminated 2-4 on aggregate. In fact, in the regular time of this game, Liverpool won 1-0. That is to say, in terms of 90 minutes of regular time, Liverpool have never lost at home in the Champions League in the era of Scum.
And they are also the only team that has never lost at home in the Champions League in the past five seasons in regular time, Real Madrid, Bayern, Chelsea, Manchester City, Barca, And Paris have failed to do so, which shows the horror of the Reds' home advantage.
Therefore, it is not difficult to foresee that tomorrow's early morning game will be particularly difficult for Inter Milan, and it will indeed take a miracle to turn the tables against the wind.
