Liverpool lacked their usual ruthlessness in front of goal but held firm against a determined Inter side to progress to the last eight.
That’s the only way Liverpool can be ruffled. Oddly enough, Martinez’s wariness of Van Dijk flipped from negative to positive in the second half. You could hardly blame Martinez for thinking “actually, I don’t really fancy this.” The Dutchman’s presence alone seemingly rendered Martinez incapable of moving his feet. Luis Diaz looked bewildered. And it was as though Klopp’s few minutes of tactical wisdom had an immediate effect on his players. It took a moment to work out what was happening before several Liverpool medics sprinted to provide assistance to a supporter. Reacting quickly — perhaps the only thing that can explain what happened next — the Egyptian side-footed onto the right post. And there was nothing he could do to prevent Martinez scoring the first of the night and pulling a goal back in the tie with a quite wonderful strike in the 61st minute. Going into the game, Martinez had scored 20 goals in 44 — a hat trick in his last, even — but Van Dijk is so big, so strong, so surprisingly quick off the mark for a guy of his sheer size – Van Dijk simply shouldn’t be able to accelerate that fast. Yet it is times such as these when the necessity of Virgil Van Dijk becomes clear. What a peculiar night at Anfield. One that certainly wasn’t uneventful.

Lautaro Martínez scored as Internazionale before Alexis Sánchez was sent off as Liverpool advanced into the quarter-finals of the Champions League with a ...
The Liverpool defence had generally got feet in, they had won the one-on-ones – the Martínez goal not withstanding. Martínez’s shot was a celebration of technique and audacity and his team had hope. Liverpool, though, saw the game out and, in the final analysis, they did so with a measure of comfort. Liverpool had hit the post through Joël Matip and Mohamed Salah, although they had struggled to unlock Inter in open play. The task was made easier when Alexis Sánchez was sent off almost immediately after the goal for a second bookable offence. Liverpool brought all-conquering form into the tie as they sought to confirm their place in the Champions League quarter-finals.
Liverpool did lose to Inter on Tuesday, in part due to Mohamed Salah's lack of clinical finishing, but no matter: The Reds are moving on.
MF Jordan Henderson, 6 -- Organised the midfield well and looked to play simple while positioning safely to deny counterattacks. FW Diogo Jota, 5 -- A fairly anonymous performance from Jota saw the Portugal international struggle to find space with the visitors keeping their three centre-backs narrow. Fared better when playing more centrally and was quick to provide a link to the midfield. MF Fabinho, 8 -- Anchored the midfield well and was often the man to win back possession for Klopp's side. His set-piece delivery led to Liverpool's best chances of the game, and he almost scored himself with a free kick that was watched cautiously past the post by Samir Handanovic. DF Joel Matip, 6 -- Close to opening the scoring with a strong header that rattled the bar from Trent Alexander-Arnold's free kick.

Comes to Alexander-Arnold, he cuts it back to Diaz who is free six-yards out. Inter would have had real hope had Sanchez not been sent off, but that just finished their hopes off. “I hit the post twice, it’s OK, maybe in the next game I will score three. 90 mins: Liverpool enjoying plenty of corners, and Inter are struggling to deal with Van Dijk and Matip in the box. 90+4 mins: Inter win a free-kick, Perisic urging everyone to get in the Liverpool box. Liverpool suffered their first Anfield defeat in a year after a 1-0 defeat to 10-man Inter Milan but still progressed to the quarter-finals of the Champions League courtesy of their two-goal first-leg advantage.

Liverpool will need to be wary of that, but they always show their opponents respect and are all shored up at the back again. The manager may even have Roberto Firmino in mind, though he’s likely to err on the side of caution. In midfield, the return of Thiago Alcantara is a huge blessing, though he doesn’t tend to be rushed back from injuries. Leicester City’s away end in the League Cup came armed with all the worst that football chants can throw up about Liverpool as a city and a football club. If Inter Milan come flying out the traps tonight, I expect Anfield to get right up for this one. There haven’t been a ton of big atmospheres to hang your hat on at Anfield this season, but the crowd have always responded to what’s taking place on the pitch.

Lucas Leiva has claimed that former Liverpool man Luis Alberto is now one of the best players in Italy. The Brazilian, who spent 10 years at Liverpool, ...
But Alberto is proving to be a rare case of the one that got away. His quality in the final third is incredible.” Alberto joined Liverpool as a 21-year-old in the summer of 2014. Liverpool finally sold Alberto to Lazio for just £4.3m on transfer deadline day in August 2016. He could show his qualities and has been one of the best players in the league the last few years. However, his loan spells were underwhelming.

36 min: Thiago wins the ball in midfield and sends Mane off down the middle. 38 min: Vidal romps down the right and wins a corner off Robertson. Calhanoglu takes, and sends it into the six-yard box. 40 min: Jota clips Skriniar to the floor as the Inter man works his way down the right. 49 min: Salah dribbles in from the right but can’t work space for a shot. Calhanoglu fires low and hard through a small gap in a crowded box and towards the bottom left. And that’s the end of a goalless first half. Salah tries to dribble in from the right again, and once more ends up stumbling down a cul-de-sac. 79 min: D’Ambrosio brings a lengthy period of Liverpool possession to an end by barging into Mane. Free kick out on the left, and a chance to load the box. 85 min: Salah turns on the jets to make good down the right. The referee splits the difference and shows yellow. Vecino bundles out for a corner on the right. 87 min: Inter are closing down space in the manic style.
Liverpool take on Inter Milan tonight in one of those classic Champions League games under the lights at Anfield. As well as being a huge tie in itself, ...
But if they can, it will surely put the tie to bed. Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah are a threat for any team in this competition. After a little lay off, Diogo Jota is getting back up to full fitness. Martinez didn’t manage to inflict any damage on his would-be suitors in the first-leg. Back at the AXA Training Centre, Liverpool were finalising preparations of their own. The 25-year-old will be hoping to be back on the scoresheet tonight after a five game drought.
When Gerard Houllier returned to the Anfield hot seat in March 2002, five months after emergency heart surgery, the Kop roared their approval as Liverpool ...
This is the worst month I have ever experienced.” There would be a subsequent 30 days of hell too. When they lost at The Valley to Charlton and then again at Sunderland. Houllier insisted: “We will find solutions. By the midway point, the spine of the team’s previously miserly defence of Dudek, Carragher, Stephane Henchoz, Sami Hyypia and John Arne Riise had barely played together. They didn’t win either, succumbing to a Michael Ballack inspired Bayer Leverkusen in the quarter-finals of UEFA’s premier competition. Diao hurriedly declared he was not the new Patrick Vieira to dampen his manager’s protestations. They approached Steve McClaren’s Middlesbrough with an unlucky-13th kind of trepidation, deploying Emile Heskey on the left and putting an isolated Michael Owen up front. Liverpool came flying out of the blocks statistically with nine wins and no defeats from the first 12, although some wobbly 2-2 draws would be an indicator that something wasn’t quite ticking. Michael Owen had five different strike partners ranging from an out-of-touch Emile Heskey to the erratic Milan Baros. They were bad buys,” insisted the Reds’ No.8. By the time squeaky bum April came around, Liverpool were still in contention for Old Big Ears and the Premier League: Houllier declared: “Hopefully we are ten games from greatness. It was the last game of the second group stage and Roma were the visitors enslaved by an atmosphere that would have trumped the 60,000 in the Colosseum. The Reds prevailed by the two goals needed to qualify for the last eight. We’re still in contention to win the title and the Champions League. The vision is to win both.”

The Reds did just enough to secure a spot among the final eight teams in the competition.
But Martinez changed the complexion of the game with his long-range effort, which came off a Liverpool turnover that was quickly moved into the attacking third by Ivan Perisic and Sanchez. A well-placed pass by Sanchez allowed Martinez to take a step towards goal before launching a precise strike past a diving Alisson Becker and into the top-right corner of the Liverpool net. The first hour saw Liverpool comfortably control the play, as they held a majority of the possession and struck the woodwork once in each half to keep the visitors on the back foot. A stunning goal by Lautaro Martinez in the 61st minute was followed closely by an ejection for Alexis Sanchez as Inter rode a wave of emotion during Tuesday's match.
It had been a year exactly since Jurgen Klopp's team last lost at Anfield, an unlikely defeat in the league to Fulham, and although this next one did not ...
“Before, I was always the last man for counter-attacks, and now I have more confidence to be in the box and scoring. Since Fabinho was restored to central midfield, Liverpool have lost only three times in all competitions in the past 12 months – to Real Madrid, West Ham United and Leicester City. If Fabinho is paired with Thiago Alcantara tonight – the Spanish international fit again after the hamstring issue which forced him out in the Carabao Cup final – the duo will seek to extend the extraordinary record of having never lost when in the same Liverpool midfield. - Alexis Sánchez was the first Inter player to receive a red card in the knockout stages of the UEFA Champions League since Cristian Chivu against Schalke in April 2011. The right back takes it and his delivery is met by the head of Matip but the ball cannons of the crossbar. There seemed to be a momentum that was unstoppable about Liverpool until Matip’s mistake on the right side on 61 minutes that was recycled into a fine goal for Inter seconds later. After getting back into the game, Sanchez gets a touch on the ball but catches Fabinho on the foot. It was only in the latter stages of the first half that it looked like Liverpool had fought back and seized the advantage. So much talent in this Inter team but struggling for consistent form since the turn of the year. For around half an hour, Liverpool were up against the 10 men of what was certainly a determined and liberated Inter Milan side who were prepared to risk everything to get back into this tie. “The art of football is to lose the right games,” Klopp said. That first leg win in Milan was enough and, as Klopp would later say, there were some near misses – Mohamed Salah hit both posts at the Kop end in the second half and Joel Matip sent a first-half header against the bar. He had played the ball before his momentum took him into the Liverpool midfielder Fabinho, much as the same exuberance had got Sanchez booked for an inexact lunge that caught Thiago Alcantara before the break.
