Despite a 1-0 win over Liverpool at Anfield, Inter were eliminated from the Champions League with a 1-2 aggregate score of two legs. Breaking Liverpool's Record for a total Champions League win, the Nerazzurri proved themselves at Anfield.
After delivering an assist, Sanchez brought down Fabinho, leaving the field red and almost burying Inter's hopes of equalizing the aggregate score. However, Inter's performance is already good enough.
You know, Inter are the first team to beat Liverpool at Anfield this season, and they have also become the first team to win liverpool in the Champions League this season, ending Liverpool's record of seven consecutive Champions League wins.
After Ajax and Bayern ended their Champions League winning streak in the first leg of the quarter-finals, Liverpool lost at home, leaving the Champions League this season without a winning team.
Liverpool are unbeaten in 22 home games in all competitions this season and have proven themselves to be able to beat the Reds away from home. It is worth mentioning that Liverpool's only home defeat in the Champions League last season was also a loss to Serie A side Atalanta.
Since returning to the Champions League in 2018-19, Inter have stopped the group stage for three consecutive seasons. After reaching the Round of 16 of the Champions League this season, Inter have achieved a breakthrough, and the performance of the Nerazzurri in the two legs against Liverpool has given people hope.
Meanwhile, after being kept clean sheets against Liverpool in three consecutive quarter-finals, Lautaro's goal allowed Inter to break that embarrassing record.
A fan named Del Piero said, "Inter's performance against one of the best teams in the world is really fantastic. It was touching. I think Inter are very close to being a very competitive team in Europe. ”
"The biggest problem is the bench, there are too many players like Sanchez, Besino, Vidal, Kolarov, Ranocchia. Even if you give up those players and sign three great young players, the team will improve a lot. Marotta is smart and I'm sure he'll do it. ”
However, one of the key reasons for Liverpool's failure to score was bad luck, as Salah hit both posts after Matip's header hit the crossbar in the first half. Liverpool's three shots hit the crossbar and the two sides of the post respectively, and Klopp could only scream in vain.
Inter legend Canbiaso said: "Inter have performed well in both legs, but lost in detail and the overall strength of the team. Legendary defender Ferdinand said, "Inter did not have a breaking point, which is what they lacked." If they have a tipping point, plus their tactics, they will create bigger trouble. ”
