7. Achievement in the 7th game
Liverpool FC are on course for the quarter-finals of the Champions League. After six wins in six group games, coach Jürgen Klopp’s team also won the round of 16 first leg at Inter Milan on Wednesday evening and scored 2-0 (0-0). The goals for the Reds were scored by Roberto Firmino (75′) and Mohamed Salah (83′), who was playing his 50th game in the “premier class”. This put the English side in an excellent position for the second leg at Anfield on 8 March.
Italy’s champions Inter Milan, who are in the round of 16 of the “premier class” for the first time in ten years, gave the first signal with a dangerous long-range shot by Lautaro Martínez – just wide. Former Bundesliga professional Hakan Calhanoglu hit the bar (16′). In the brisk game, the Reds then had a slight advantage and kept looking for Salah, who scored his eighth goal of the season in the 2-0 win and joined the top scorers list behind Sébastien Haller and Robert Lewandowski (overview)
Round of 16: The Champions League squad according to market values
At the beginning of the second half, Inter increased the pressure and pace, and now the 40,000 or so spectators could be heard. Former Bundesliga player Ivan Perisic was on the ball in many offensive actions and was one of the best in Inter coach Simone Inzaghi’s team. Former Wolfsburg Edin Dzeko also dealt with the guest defense. But the 2019 Champions League winner and 2020 English champions came back, dominated events in the final stages – and can now dream of the quarter-finals.
