Liverpool advanced into the Champions League quarter-finals after defeating Inter Milan on aggregate. Jürgen Klopp has an edge over the likes of Bayern ...

"Just for a bit of context; Liverpool have played 44 times in all competitions this season and have only lost three. "I think it is testament to Liverpool's level at the moment that they can play that way and still progress. On Tuesday evening, Henderson took a significant step to adding another one of Europe's finest trophies to his CV for the second time in his career, and becoming just the second Liverpool captain to win it twice.

The Reds' buffer proves to be enough at Anfield after Inter's Alexis Sanchez was sent off following Lautaro Martinez's long-range goal.

The 2019 Champions League winners are in the quarterfinals for the fourth time in five years despite its first loss in the competition this season. Leading 2-0 from the last-16 first leg in Italy, Lautaro Martinez’s swerving shot that reduced the deficit in the 61st minute gave the Italian champions a hope of a comeback. Liverpool suffered its first Anfield loss in a year but still overcame Inter Milan and reach the quarterfinals of the Champions League.

Lewandowski set up Leroy Sane late to salt away the score line. 🔴⚽🔥 ¡Goool de @FCRBS_en! The red came three minutes after Joel Matip gave the ball away and Virgil van Dijk dared Martinez to take a shot from distance.

Jürgen Klopp's side suffer a first Anfield loss in over a year but grit it out to deservedly reach Champions League quarter-finals.

Matip also threw himself in the way of a drive from Calhanoglu as Liverpool kept Inter at a distance and defended in numbers when the situation demanded. The decisive goal, decisive only in the context of the game, came from the hosts’ only serious lapse when Matip’s attempted clearance was cut out by Perisic and turned on to Martínez by Sánchez. Van Dijk appeared to be inviting Mártinez to shoot from an improbable angle. He almost made his presence felt in the Inter box with a header that smacked the face of Samir Handanovic’s crossbar with the visiting keeper rooted to the spot. He was kept on the back foot but displayed good awareness and upper body strength to prevent Martínez breaking clear into the area following Sánchez’s neat dummy. In terms of organisation and individual effort, Klopp’s defence provided the platform for a merited place in the last eight for a fourth time in five years. “They wanted it like crazy,” he said of West Ham, “but we wanted it even more.” David Moyes may beg to differ having seen Pablo Fornals and Manuel Lanzini squander a couple of sitters.

Liverpool have progressed to the quarter-finals of the Champions League for the fourth time in five years.

The draw for both the quarter-finals and semi-finals will take place in Nyon, Switzerland on Friday, March 18 at 11am. This could happen this season if, for example, both Manchester teams progress, which would see United having their fixtures reversed as the lower ranked team domestically this term. The only concession is teams from the same city are not scheduled to play at home on the same day or on consecutive days.
