The first leg of this was a slightly strange affair. Internazaionale outplayed Liverpool at San Siro for the best part of an hour, only for Jurgen Klopp to make a double change that titled the balance. Roberto Firmino and Mohamed Salah scored late, and Liverpool’s only regret was that Uefa have abolished the old away goals rule.
