The defensive solidity of Van Dijk and Konate prevented chances from Lautaro, Perisic and Dzeko from opening the scoring, sealing parity in the first 45 minutes.

For the restart of the complement, Klopp moved the bench which increased the options of the English. The entry of Colombian Luis Díaz helped in the attack and 62 was able to beat Handanovic after an assist from Arnold but Skriniar at the last second he blocked the shot.

Headings by Dumfries and Lautaro encouraged the crowd at the San Siro, but someone else would end up scoring.

Firmino, who had also entered shortly after the restart, took advantage of 76′ a cross from Robertson’s corner to comb the far post and make it 0-1.

Alexis Sánchez and Dzeko tried again but collided once again with the Reds’ wall and while Inter were looking for a tie, an isolated play brought the second for Liverpool .

A left-footed cross from Alexander Arnold found Van Dijk’s head who served it to Salah, who hit first on the penalty spot to score a new goal for Liverpool and decree the 2- 0 end.

With this result, Liverpool will now start with an advantage and will seek their ticket to the quarterfinals of the Champions League League on March 8, in the return to England to close the tie.
