Fifteen minutes had been enough. In the first leg, Interistes and Reds had long been equal before the coaching of Jürgen Klopp and the selflessness of his players made the difference. The goals of Roberto Firmino and Mohamed Salah on the lawn of the Giuseppe-Meazza stadium thus allow the very recent winner of the English League Cup to approach his return match, Tuesday March 8, in a position of strength.
Since their confrontation on February 16, the two teams have experienced opposite dynamics. If Sadio Mané’s teammates have chained five wins in a row, the Nerazzurri are having difficulty. After a home defeat against Sassuolo (0-2) and two draws (0-0 twice) against Genoa and in the Milan derby, they however spent their nerves on the Italian red lantern, Salernitana (5 -0), Friday.
Absent from the final stages of the Champions League for ten years, Inter Milan is playing its all out on this return match at Anfield.
