Inter visit Liverpool at Anfield Road tomorrow knowing that Manchester United are the only team that qualified for the following round after losing the first leg at home by two goals.
Simone Inzaghi’s men faced a 2-0 defeat at the Stadio Meazza in February and will be hoping to bounce back in the second leg in England tomorrow night. The Nerazzurri returned to winning ways on Friday by beating Serie A strugglers Salernitana 5-0, so confidence is high ahead of their trip to England.
Nicolò Barella will be suspended, but the rest of the team is available. Inter will need to go beyond their means to qualify for the quarter-finals.
Manchester United are the only team in the history of the Champions League to have qualified after losing the first leg at home by two goals. In the 2018-19 campaign, the Premier League giants beat Gigi Buffon’s PSG 3-1 in Paris after losing 2-0 at Old Trafford. A mistake from the veteran goalkeeper in the return leg helped Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side to qualify for the quarter-finals.
The same result would not be enough to qualify this season without the away goal rule. An Inter 3-1 win in Liverpool tomorrow night would see the two teams go to extra time.
