MILANO
Applause and anger. Inter win at Anfield with a super goal from Lautaro but Liverpool go to the quarters thanks to a 2-0 first leg. After the magic of the Bull there would have been an abundant half hour to dream, but Sanchez immediately left in ten of him deserving the second yellow when Dzeko was now ready to take his place. The Reds, long masters of the field, have hit three posts. The Nerazzurri start well, pressing high and preventing the Reds from building. As in the first leg, however, the guests fail to become really dangerous in the last twenty meters. After a staid quarter of the game, Liverpool revs up the engine and becomes dangerous on two consecutive corners.
It resumes without De Vrij, with D’Ambrosio who makes Skriniar climb to the center. When the Reds pick up the pace, Inter swerves. At 16 ‘, however, Lautaro found the goal of the advantage with a right of first intention from distance that bags at the intersection of the posts. Too bad that after a blink of an eye Sanchez takes the second yellow card for an out of time entry on Fabinho.
Inzaghi is desperate on the sidelines. Also because Dzeko was already ready for Alexis.
20 ‘from the end Brozovic collapses, tries to grit his teeth but has to give up. Gagliardini then joins Correa and Darmian between the entrances to attempt the final assault. Lautaro and Dumfries also come out, but above all a right-footed shot from Salah does not enter, hitting the English third post. The finish is a melee that enhances Skriniar and Vidal.
In the other match of the day Bayern went to the quarterfinals who beat Salzburg 7-1, who after the 1-1 first leg thought they could at least play it. Nothing to do: the Germans closed the case in 23 ‘, needless to say with the best center forward in the world, Robert Lewandowski.
