JAKARTA - Inter Milan has definitely met Liverpool in the round of 16 of the 2021/2022 Champions League. Ahead of the meeting, a confession was made by Simone Inzaghi, the Inter coach.

Inzaghi admits that Liverpool are the team the Nerazzurri fear. The coach also did not deny that they really avoid meeting the Reds in this competition.

"We know what awaits us. Liverpool is the top club that I hope can be avoided in the draw," said Inzaghi as quoted by Football Italia, Saturday 25 December.

The meeting between the two teams is still a few months away because the first leg of the 2021/2022 Champions League last 16 will only start in February. With a long gap in time, Inzaghi hopes that the Nerrazurri are in the best condition despite having to go through a busy schedule at the beginning of the year.

"We want to reach that date in the best possible condition. But first we have some very busy weeks in January and February hopefully we can get through it," explained Inzaghi.

Actually, in the initial draw Inter Milan met with Ajax Amsterdam. Unfortunately, the result was canceled and had to be re-drawn due to a technical error.

In the second draw, Inter had to accept the fact that their opponent was Mohamed Salah et al. Inzaghi's fear was realized and now Inter have to fight hard to get past the power of Liverpool, who is one of the strong candidates for the Champions League title this season.
