The group stage was much more relaxed for Liverpool FC. Jürgen Klopp’s side won all six games to end the group as clear winners. The feat of the perfect group phase had previously only been achieved by seven teams in the premier class. In addition to Liverpool, FC Bayern and Ajax Amsterdam made it this season. The Reds are currently on a roll in the league. The LFC have won every Premier League game since beating Chelsea 2-2 on January 2. The club also reached the final of the EFL Cup and reached the last 16 of the FA Cup. The last competitive defeat was on December 28, 2021 a 0-1 against Leicester.

Inter struggled a bit in the group stage. After an opening defeat by Real Madrid and a 0-0 draw with Shakhtar Donetsk, the Italians needed two wins against surprise team Sheriff Tiraspol to qualify for the round of 16. That’s what Simone Inzaghi’s players did. In the end, they confidently reached the round of 16 as second in the group behind Madrid. Not everything has gone according to plan in the league lately. Inter are still second, just a point behind leaders Milan, but have won just once in their last three games. In the city derby against AC, it lost 1:2. The Nerazzurri were held to a 1-1 draw at Napoli last Saturday.
