The streak is over. Inter loses first home match in five years
Inter hosted Liverpool in the sixth round of the UEFA Champions League and suffered a 0-1 defeat, bringing an end to the Nerazzurri’s impressive run.
Details: Inter lost their first home match in the UEFA Champions League since the autumn of 2022. Back then, the Italians were defeated 0-2 by Bayern Munich, but after that, they went unbeaten at home for 18 consecutive matches at the Giuseppe Meazza. However, that streak came to an end against Liverpool.
A controversial moment decided the outcome of the game. In the 87th minute, Liverpool was awarded a penalty against Inter. An Inter defender pulled Florian Wirtz by the shirt, causing the German midfielder to fall. The referees still awarded the penalty, which was successfully converted.
Reminder: By the way, Inter midfielder Hakan Çalhanoğlu was forced to leave the pitch early in the match due to an injury. The Turkish playmaker felt a sharp pain in his muscle and immediately signaled for a substitution.
