At 4:00 a.m. Beijing time on March 9, the second leg of the Champions League quarter-final ushered in a focus battle, with Liverpool facing Inter Milan at home. Inter Milan's form this season has been somewhat ups and downs, once occupying the top spot in the league, but due to the continuous loss of points after entering February, the top position has been lost, and it is currently only able to temporarily finish second. Inter Milan played Liverpool in the first leg, although it was at home, but the quality of the shot was very poor, or lost the game. Now that they have played again, Inter Milan has no way back, can only let go, and the result is to win, but only win 1 goal, which leads to Inter Milan still losing to Liverpool in two legs and being eliminated.
In this game, Inzaghi Jr. lined up in a 352 formation. Handanovic served as the starting goalkeeper. Bastoni, DeFrey and Shkrinjaer form a 3-back. Perisic, Char khanoglu, Brozovic, Vidal and Dumfries are teamed up in 5 midfielders. Sanchez and Lautaro Martinez played as two strikers. Dzeko, Joaquin Correa, Gagliardini and Damian sat on the bench.
Although it was an away game, Inter Milan played very aggressively after the opening, which made Liverpool a little uncomfortable. Liverpool have the advantage of possession, but the space is compressed to a relatively small amount, and it is very good to get a very good shooting opportunity. One of Liverpool's best chances of the first half was Matip's header into the net, blocked by the crossbar. Liverpool attacked as soon as the second half came up, but, unlucky, many shots were missed, and Salah's shot hit the post, which was particularly unfortunate. Liverpool, who missed the opportunity, were then punished, and Lautaro scored! However, Sanchez was sent off with a red card, leaving Inter milan with one less man to fight, and as a result, the game was completely controlled by Liverpool, but Liverpool was still unable to score. The final score was fixed at 0-1, with Liverpool losing to Inter milan, but advancing 2-1 on aggregate.
Lautaro is Inter's best performer, scoring one goal and scoring 7.3 points, but unfortunately he failed to help Inter qualify. In a post-match interview, Lautaro said the players left here with their heads held high and were eliminated only for a detail. Indeed, being eliminated in this way, Inter was defeated. And Liverpool's top card, Salah, who is worth up to 100 million euros, has two shots on the post, and his luck is really poor, too helpless. But Salah is already the best performer of Liverpool's strikers.
Klopp questioned the referee's decision, arguing that Sanchez should have been sent off in the first half. Well-known Italian journalist Condo questioned inzaghi Jr.'s decision to replace, saying it was strange that Sanchez was not replaced when he received a yellow card. Inzaghi Jr. was satisfied with his decision after the game and he did not regret keeping Sanchez. In any case, inzai's ability for little to conquer Liverpool's Devil's Stadium is a remarkable achievement. It is believed that under the leadership of Inzaghi Jr., Inter Milan can achieve better results in the future.
