The last time Liverpool and Inter Milan met in the Champions League was 43 years ago, in the 1964/65 Champions League semi-finals, which the Reds won 3-1 at home. Interestingly, a few days before that game, Liverpool had just won the FA Cup for the first time in the club's history at home. Almost half a century on, however, the FA Cup and Liverpool are no longer what they once were, and this game against Milan will be crucial if the Reds are to prove that they are no longer down.

In 1965, Shankly's Liverpool beat Inter Milan 3-1 at home and have lost only one of their last six matches against the Italian club. However, the Nerazzurri are no slouch, having won their last two visits to England by three goals (four to one against Newcastle United and three to Arsenal).

February 20, 2008, Anfield, Liverpool, England!

Commentators from Sky Sports and other TV stations gathered on the top floor of the stands at Anfield Stadium, anxiously debugging the equipment in front of them, carefully reading the materials just sent by the planning department.

At this time, the Anfield Stadium, which can accommodate more than 40,000 fans, was already full of people, and the entire Anfield Stadium became a sea of red, and today Liverpool fans are almost all wearing Liverpool's red jerseys, so that there is no variegation here.

The scene was really shocking, especially if you looked down from the sky, the surging red was like rushing blood, which made people's hairs stand on top and blood boiling.

Liverpool fans held up slogans, cheered enthusiastically, and sang "You'll Never Go Alone". That majestic singing envelops the whole of Anfield, where there is only one color, only one voice - Liverpool!

And there is a very spectacular phenomenon in the KOP stands at Anfield, there is a huge jersey spread out on it, which is the red jersey of the Liverpool team's home stadium, and the fans in this KOP stand are shaking the huge jersey excitedly, and at the same time singing the Liverpool team anthem!!

Inter fans, on the other hand, were temporarily confined to a small stand, wearing Inter Milan's home jersey, blue and black. Although they came with few people, their momentum was not small, and they excitedly sang their team song to cheer for Inter Milan.

Seeing such a hot atmosphere, the reporters on the scene couldn't help but sigh that this is really the devil's home field. Playing here, the away boys must be under a lot of pressure. By this time, some journalists had already begun to observe a moment of silence for Inter.

Walking out of the locker room, Qiu Ze's face was very serious, and the players of the entire Anfield team had such expressions, and it could be seen that Rafael 61 Benitez was drugged in the tactical arrangement before the game.

Now Liverpool can't afford to lose, Benitez can't afford to lose now, the most basic thing is to qualify for the quarterfinals, and their goal this season is to win the Champions League. It is now clear to Benitez that he has to win a prestigious title this season if he is to be able to stay.

At present, Liverpool can win a weighty championship, and it is also the most realistic Champions League champion, after all, the league is already ten points away from the first place, and now the Champions League has become Benitez's only lifeline, of course he has to take drastic medicine.

At this time, the players of Inter Milan also walked into the players' tunnel, and their faces were also very serious and murderous at the same time. Players on both sides didn't look at each other's players, as if they didn't have each other in their eyes, and the war had already started before the game had even started!

"Haode, now I'm going to give you a brief overview of the visiting Inter Milan team's starting list for today." Sky Sports football commentator Gary 61 Lineker said immediately.

"Today's Inter coach Roberto Mancini played a four-four-two formation. Sky Sports football commentator Gary 61 Lineker said, "In the goalkeeper position, it is still the same Brazilian goalkeeper Giulio 61 Cesar. ”

'In the back four are Brazilian McConn, small centre-back Córdoba, Italian Materazzi and Christian 61 kivu. Sky Sports football commentator Gary 61 Lineker said, "This backline is the main backline of the Inter Milan team, and it seems that Inter Milan don't want to have any reservations today." ”

"In the midfield position are Stankovic and Cambiaso, both of whom have good offensive talents, and both have the ability to organise attacks, so I don't know who will control the attacking rhythm of the two today." Gary 61 Lineker analyzed.

'On the flanks are Maxwell and Zanetti, both of whom can be full-backs, and now they are both in the attacking line, I don't know what Mancini thinks. Sky Sports football commentator Gary 61 Lineker was shocked and said, "Is he also going to strengthen the defense on both wings, or will he have some changes at the back?" ”

'The two partners up front are Ibrahimovic and Kruse. Sky Sports football commentator Gary 61 Lineker immediately said, "Look, Crespo, who Mancini has been emphasizing before the game, is not in the starting list at all, and this guy's time at Inter Milan is getting shorter and shorter." ”

"What's more, didn't Weishenme Mancini start in the middle today? Could it be that he doesn't look down on Qiu Ze? Think Liverpool's attacking midfield isn't a cause for concern? "Sky Sports' football commentator Gary 61 Lineker really doesn't understand.

Sky Sports commentator Tim 61 Laurson immediately said: "Let me give you an overview of the starting line-up for today's home team, Liverpool. ”

'In the back four are Arbeloa, Carragher, Hyypia and Reese, and Daniel 61 is still injured and he is not in the squad. Sky Sports commentator Tim 61 Laurson said.

'In the midfield position, Benitez today lined up Gerrard and Xavi 61 Alonso. Sky Sports commentator Tim 61 Laurson was slightly surprised, "Today, the Argentine kid Mascherano did not start, it seems that Benitez is not worried about Stankovy's death and Cambiasso's attack, he did not play the stronger defense of Marcellano!" ”

"In the front three positions are Kuyt, Chris 61 Qiu and Colwill." Sky Sports commentator Tim 61 Laurson continued, "Now Benitez is often rotating Colwill and Israeli Benayoun in the full-back position, and it seems to be working well! ”

"At the top is still the center forward Fernando 61 Torres from Spain." Sky Sports commentator Tim 61 Laurson said loudly, "Crouch is still sitting on the bench today, waiting for Benitez to call, I hope that Mr. Benitez will not forget that behind you you are still thinking that the England national team is the main centre-forward." ”

"Haode, at this time, we have introduced the starting lineups of both sides, and now that the game is full, let's focus on the game." Sky Sports commentator Tim 61 Laurson said immediately.

"Toot!" Suddenly, the referee blew the whistle, and Liverpool's home match against Inter Milan in the round of 16 of the UEFA Champions League officially began.
