A Force To Be Reckoned With

Just a few weeks ago, Inter Milan defeated Juventus in the final moments of the Italian Super Cup. The winning moment came as the match was subjected to extra time after Lautaro Martinez’s penalty cancelled Weston McKennie’s opener.

It was Alexis Sanchez, however, that stole the show, having scored in the 120th minute and winning the Italian Super Cup in the process.

It gave Liverpool fans and, perhaps most importantly, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp, a glimpse into the type of career-defining performance they can potentially expect when the time comes for the English club to face the Italian squad on the pitch tonight.

With a strong team and a seemingly impenetrable defensive unit to boot, they are a force to be reckoned with within the European football scene.

A Worthy Opponent

With a string of wins under their belt and fans already lining up to familiarise themselves with the best football betting tips ahead of Wednesday night’s clash with Inter Milan, Liverpool have proven to be a worthy opponent during this year’s Champions League.

It comes as Liverpool, along with Bayern and Ajax, completed the Champions League group stage with a perfect record for the first time in their 130-year history.

This has, however, only complicated things further with the worthy winner at next month’s match now well and truly anyone’s game and each successive win only bolstering the chances of Liverpool claiming victory on the pitch at the San Siro.

With kick-off fast approaching, a possible line-up for the club has also been predicted that includes the likes of Van Dijk, Fabinho, and Alexander-Arnold.

No Clear Winner So Far

Whilst some fans may have already made their mind up when it comes to which club is more likely to walk away triumphant on Wednesday February 16, no clear winner seems to have emerged so far.

Inter Milan has, for example, achieved some of the best on-pitch performances in the history of the club in recent weeks to become Italy’s strongest team and, by doing so, has somewhat stealthily climbed the ranks to re-enter the former position they held around a decade ago as one of Europe’s most successful teams.

Liverpool, on the other hand, does have the added benefit of a successful run of Champions League games under their belt so far, however, and possess an edge that could very well see them cinch victory at next month’s match, even if only just.

With Inter Milan and Liverpool scheduled to go head-to-head at San Siro Stadium in a matter of weeks on February 16, fans are already placing their bets as to who the worthy winner will be.

By taking a look at Inter Milan’s impressive performance during this year’s Champions League so far and Liverpool’s long-standing reputation as one of Europe’s best clubs, however, no clear winner has emerged so far and either club could walk away victorious as the highly anticipated match comes to a triumphant close.
