Champions League
Liverpool 0-1 Inter: Nerazzurri win, Reds qualify
Inter beat Liverpool 1-0 at Anfield through a Lautaro Martinez goal, but qualification went to the Reds after a 2-0 win in the first leg. Sanchez is deadly.
Lautaro Martinez’s goal was not enough for Inter (1-0) to qualify against Liverpool after a 2-0 first leg saw the Reds progress to the next stage of the Champions League.
Klopp’s players had the best moments, seeing the ball hit Hadanovic’s crossbar three times, but eventually they managed to celebrate qualification.
At the other end, Inter were denied three minutes after Lautaro Martinez’s goal when Alexis Sanchez was correctly sent off with a second yellow card (he could have been sent off earlier).
Aerial dominance for Liverpool
Liverpool, who had ruled the opening game 2-0, controlled the rhythm of the game and kept Inter away from Allison’s house, who tried but didn’t look threatening.
The first suspicion of a threat came when Dumfries shot from the edge of the box, but failed to threaten the Reds’ Brazilian goalkeeper. The rest of the good moments of the first half belonged to Liverpool, who threatened at every static stage.
The double chance culminated in seconds in the 31st minute when Matip sent the ball first to the crossbar and then saved Scriniar Inter by dislodging Van Dyke’s head.
In the rest of the first half both teams had a good phase with fouls from Tsalhanoglou and Alexander-Arnold respectively. Alexis Sanchez, meanwhile, was lucky not to see a direct red card for strong cover in Thiago.
Liverpool came into play more strongly in the second half and missed a huge chance in the 52nd minute when Salah clipped the crossbar after a Hadanovic miss.
Inter’s crazy treble
After this phase, the Nerazzurri gained ground on the field and tried to become more threatening. They warned with shots from Tsalhanoglou and Lautaro Martinez, who blocked it, but the second time the Argentine scored a terrible goal in 61′.
Before Simone Inzaghi could celebrate his team’s goal, he saw Alexis Sanchez sent off with a second yellow card. The Chilean saved them in the first part but not in the second when the referee sent him to the dressing room prematurely.
In the rest of the game Liverpool, who took advantage of their numerical advantage, were not threatened, they had another goal with Salah and in the end Klopp’s players celebrated qualification.
LIVERPOOL: Allison, Alexander Arnold, Matip, Van Dyke, Robertson, Jones (65′ Keita), Fambino, Thiago (66′ Henderson), Salah, Zota (83′ Dias), Mane

Former coach of Dynamo Kiev Alexander Showkovsky He should have been sacked in August after a poor performance in the Champions League qualifiers.
The blue-whites, who lost twice to Cypriot Paphos in the 3rd round of the European Cup (0:1 and 0:2), were relegated to the Europa League and then promoted to the Conference League.
“I know that Dinamo management believes that a change of coach could and should be made in the summer, after they lost to Paphos in the Champions League qualifiers.
Then an opportunity arose. But the necessary candidate was not available,” the source said.
Due to the lack of alternatives, the president of the Kiev club decided to leave Shovkovsky as head coach, but in November the Ukrainian specialist was nevertheless fired and left Dynamo.

We continue to examine the future of Donetsk shakhtar To buy tickets directly to the main stage Champions League 2026/27.
This will be possible if the place reserved for the team that wins the Champions League trophy is redistributed.
All important moments of the match are available in LIVE mode Telegram Sport.ua
Donetsk Miner They are in fourth place with a coefficient of 50.250 among the clubs competing for a possible position at the heart of the Champions League.
In the last European week, the Donetsk club added +2.625 points. This increase was achieved with a 0-0 draw with Croatian Rijeka in the 6th round of the Conference League and a sixth place in the main round final table.
Main rival Greek Olympiacos – 56,500 points remaining. The Miners can regain the 6,250-point lead if they perform well in the spring part of the European Cups.
It is interesting that Shakhtar lost the first place in the UPL (Cherkasy has the same number of points as LNZ – 35 points each), and Olympiacos lost the lead in Greece to the AEK team (36 points against 37). Ukrainian striker Roman Yaremchuk plays for the team of the city of Piraeus.
Positions rangers (59,250), 4th in Scotland and Copenhagen (53.375), placed 5th in Denmark, looks less competitive in the rankings due to its position in the national championships. Leader only in championships Dinamo Zagreb And RB Salzburg (44,000 each) but there is no certainty that the turn will come.
Let us remind you that if the cup holder buys a ticket to the Champions League through the national championship, there will be a vacancy in the main squad in the 2026/27 Champions League. In this case, a balance will arise again and if Shakhtar wins the UPL and is ahead of Olympiacos in the UEFA club rankings (or the Greek club does not become the champion of Greece), it can get a direct ticket to the base of the Champions League.
If the Piraeus team is higher in the rankings and takes advantage of the available space, the Donetsk club will start from the 4th quarter of the Champions League, not the 2nd quarter, in case they win in the UPL.

Pedri commented on the new format of the Champions League: An unexpected look from a football player
Barcelona midfielder pedri He answered the question about his attitude towards the new format of the Champions League with the general group stage.
“Do I like the new format of the Champions League? I can’t say with 100% certainty which format I like more: this one or the previous one?”
If I have to choose, I will do something new: There were more matches between strong teams in the first stage,” said Pedri, as quoted by Esquire.
Before the 2024/2025 season, the group stage of the Champions League consisted of eight groups of four clubs each. All participants played six matches in their respective foursomes, home and away, against each of the three opponents.
From the 2024/2025 season, a new Champions League format comes into force with a common group stage of 36 clubs; each participant plays eight matches, four away and four at home; The opponents are determined by lot.”
