Liverpool’s quest to reach the UEFA Champions League quarterfinal is simple but not easy: Make a two-goal lead over Inter Milan hold up at Anfield on Tuesday.
[ LIVE: Champions League scores ]
The Reds worked hard to take a 2-0 lead on late goals from Roberto Firmino and Mohamed Salah, and Inter won’t even get to hang its hat on a 3-1 or 4-2 win boasting an away goals win.
A one-goal win will mean nothing to the Serie A champions, two goals leads to penalties, and Inter Milan will need to win by three to advance over 90 minutes or extra time.
