  • Liverpool have almost done enough to ensure Inter Milan's elimination from the last 16 of the UEFA Champions League
  • A one-two by Roberto Firmino and Mohamed Salah within eight minutes floored the Italians at the San Siro
  • What will aggravate the home side was the fact that they failed to register a single shot on target over the entire 90 minutes

Liverpool were comfortable winners in the first leg of the last 16 tie against Inter Milan at the San Siro in Milan.

Sports Brief was on hand to watch the match, as the men from Merseyside hardly broke a sweat to see of the Nerazzuri.

Social media had its say in a tie that underlined the vast chasm in class between the Premier League and the Serie A.

"To beat both AC and Inter Milan in the San Siro in the Champions League within a couple months and it feels like no big deal is the greatest testimony to how far Klopp has taken Liverpool."

@Carra23 said:

"Great result for @LFC in the San Siro again & I thought @IbrahimaKonate_ was excellent! #InterLiverpool"

@MelissaReddy said:

"Simone Inzaghi said Liverpool have a habit of giving teams false hope before punishing them. He was right. Jürgen Klopp's substitutions stopped Inter's flow of pressure before piercing them."

@alimo_philip said:

"Virgil van Dijk, Player of the Match on Inter Milan vs. Liverpool: “We expected to be under pressure because this is the Champions League. One of the messages before the game was that we needed to be ready to suffer. It was a very good performance and clean sheet.”

@anfieldonline said:

"Liverpool have sucker punched Inter Milan here. Taken plenty of jabs but delivered two thumping uppercuts. 2-0. You love to see it. #LFC"

Roberto Firmino, Salah score as Liverpool destroys Inter Milan at San Siro in UCL knockout

Liverpool who are Premier League giants have putting one leg in the quarterfinal of the Champions League after beating Inter Milan 2-0 at the San Siro on Wednesday night, 16 February.

As reported by Sports Brief, Inter Milan would have themselves to blame losing this Champions League round of 16 first leg encounter against Liverpool as they had many chances in the first half.

The hosts started the match impressively with Edin Dzeko and Ivan Perisic tormenting Liverpool defense with flurry of attacks, but they were unable to get the breakthrough.
