Inter Milan were on the attacking side through out the night. The ball was a free ball, wasn't in Liverpool possession. Maybe Liverpool was playing for a draw, knowingly they had a 2-0 advantage on aggregate of their first leg win. Inter Milan on the other hand wanted to win but 1-0 win wasn't enough for them to advance. I was impressed with Inter Milan for playing as well as they did with 10men for a third of the game. Liverpool were just lucky, they would have been eliminated if it wasn't for Alexis Sanchez's red card. Alexis Sanchez was unlucky, he really did wanted his team to go through but not to be, they should now fully focus on the Scudetto.

Inter Milan proved many soccer pundits and analysts wrong having been given a very slim chances of defeating Liverpool at Anfield, however much credit should be given to them for playing an attacking football and a brilliant finishing by Martinez who curled the ball pass Alisson lead to their goal, though Liverpool hits the woodwork thrice which could have change the scoreline had they scored those scoring opportunities, however when Sanchez was sent off for a bad tackle, that reduced the chances of Inter scoring their second goal that could have possibly forced the match to extra time, they are quite unlucky.
Inter Milan have been better team in both legs but there is no cutting edge or pace in behind the Liverpool line. I think that if inter Milan had proper forwards instead of Lautaro Martinez and Alexis, they probably would’ve scored 2 or 3 at least. Liverpool midfield was non existent and Inter Milan beat their press so easily. Inter players were playing at 100% and were absolutely exhausted physically and mentally. Add to that Alexis Sanchez’s red-card, Brozovic limping, Inzaghi decided to work for the 0-1 win instead. Inter did OK but Liverpool’s CL experience was there for all to see. There is an art to playing below your best and still going through comfortably.
