DBasia.news – Liverpool will travel to Inter Milan’s headquarters in the first leg of the 2021-2022 Champions League last 16 with high confidence. That’s because the Reds have Mohamed Salah.
The Inter-Liverpool duel will take place at the Giuseppe Meazza, Thursday (17/2) at 03.00 WIB. Both teams are sure to appear determined to gain victory.
Their status as a guest did not hinder Liverpool’s chance to win. On the other hand, Jurgen Klopp’s team are considered superior in quality to Inter.
Liverpool have shown an impressive performance in the Champions League this season. Red Merseyside swept six games in the group phase with a win.
Salah became the key figure behind Liverpool’s brilliant performance. The Egyptian national player scored a total of seven of his team’s 17 goals in the group phase.
Not only that, Salah also has a great record when he met Inter. He recorded three wins, one draw and one defeat against the Nerazzurri.
All matches against Inter were played by Salah during his 2,5 season career in Serie A with Fiorentina and AS Roma. In that period he was able to score one goal against La Beneamata.
Salah’s only goal against Inter occurred in March 2015. At that time he brought Fiorentina to a narrow 1-0 victory at the Giuseppe Meazza.
Salah also has other fond memories with Giuseppe Meazza not too long ago. He had scored one goal there when they beat AC Milan in the last match of the group stage.
Salah’s slick record has certainly made Inter wary. The 29-year-old winger is almost certain to be heavily escorted throughout the game.
