Inter Milan and Liverpool renew hostilities in a mammoth Champions League showdown at San Siro tonight.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport via FCInterNews, the Nerazzurri are well-positioned to claim bragging rights in this European blockbuster.

Cristian Chivu oversaw a superb 4-0 win over Serie A surprise package Como on Saturday, extending Inter’s winning streak to three games.

Furthermore, Chivu’s charges netted an eye-catching 11 goals in that sequence, setting themselves up perfectly for this fixture.

In stark contrast to Inter’s purple patch, the Reds head into proceedings amid an epic fall from grace.

Indeed, less than six months since leading Liverpool to a landmark 20th title in England’s top flight, Arne Slot stands on the precipice of dismissal.

Winless in five of their last six outings, the reigning Premier League champions seem to be up the creek without a paddle.

As if that’s not concerning enough, Liverpool will take on Inter without their long-serving talisman, Mohamed Salah.

Therefore, the Italian giants are in a seemingly prime position to avenge their heartbreaking defeat in the 2021/22 last-16.
