Liverpool travel to San Siro to face Italian champions Inter Milan while defending a 2-0 lead on aggregate. Matterazi won't be playing because he received a red card at Anfield.
It was a very nervy start for Rafael Benitez's men. The opening 10 minutes of the clash belonged to Inter and the first chance of the match arrived on five minutes when Zlatan Ibrahimovic crossed from the left for Esteban Cambiasso, but the Argentinean's near post effort was well blocked by Lucas Leiva. Two minutes later Pepe Reina had to get to save Julio Cruz's strike from 25-yards. The only shot the visitors had in the opening 20 minutes was when Dirk Kuyt's low ball in from the right found Torres just inside the area. On 51 minutes Nicolas Burdisso was sent off for a second bookable offence, following a late tackle on Lucas. Liverpool didn't make use of having 1 extra man, Inter Milan kept attacking and they came close when Zlatan Ibrahimovic's shot was wide. Little by little Liverpool started to control. On the 64th minute Fernando Torres scored a brilliant right-footed volley from Fabio Aurelio's low cross. It was game over for Inter Milan and for the first time in the Champions League all 4 English sides are through to the quater finals, and it's also the first time that only 1 Italian side are in the quater finals. Torres now scored 26 goals in his debut season in England. Man of the Match Javier Mascherano
