Inter Milan lost to Liverpool 2-0 in the UEFA Champions League, but the Italian side only had themselves to blame.

Despite notching up the unwanted stat, Inter Milan are not the first team to register zero shots on target in a Champions League game. Arsenal became the first team in UEFA Champions League history to not register a single shot during a game, Tribal Football confirmed.

Barcelona, Real Madrid and Liverpool themselves have also all gone through a Champions League game without getting a single shot on target. In 2018 Liverpool earned the unwanted stat against Napoli.

In 2019, Real Madrid shocked fans worldwide when they could not get a shot on target against Paris Saint-Germain. It was the first time since the 2003/2004 season that the Spanish giants failed to register a shot on target.

Barcelona achieved the unwanted feat during the current season when they lost to Bayern Munich in the group stages.

Inter Milan will be hoping for a better performance when they travel to Anfield, hoping to overturn a two-goal deficit.
