Glad I'm not an Inter fan, would be pissed after tonight. They had the chance to KO Liverpool, even with a shit result from the first game. They weren't outplayed at any point from what I saw when I switched between the games
Basically shit finishing/end product on the final third and Alexis cost them
Is that a correct analysis?
Alexis played an excellent match imo until that red card. He, and everyone else in Inter, had to take those risks considering the result from the first leg. Most of the time it worked and they won a lot of balls with those tackles, but eventually, yes, it did cost them.
Imo the main difference was Barella's absence, not Liverpool''s experience. Vidal played magnificent defense, but he ruined so many attacks. His passing was at McKennie's level. Barella runs a lot, plays excellent defense too, but he would have made so much difference attacking-wise in both legs.
