INTER MILAN VS LIVERPOOL
Wednesday night football was played, as Inter Milan hosted Liverpool in the famous San Siro stadium. The match was predicted to be exciting as Liverpool are known for having a unique style of attacking while Inter Milan are masters in defensive football. It was a battle against the two tactics involved in football. The first half was underway with both sides attempting to take the lead with efforts flying left and right from both sides, Inter Milan came quite close in the first half but was denied by the crossbar.
The first half ended as 0-0, while the second half was underway with Inter Milan staying determined to surprise the English Premier League side but that determination was cut short when Liverpool's front man Roberto Firmino scored with the Egyptian Mo Salah following up in the closing hour to make it 2-0 at the San Siro stadium. It would be assumed that Liverpool are at a great advantage to qualify when they would host the Italian Champions at Anfield.
The man of the match was Virgil Van Dijk.

Atletico Madrid's reaction was an instant pressuring of Levante's defense. An opportunity came for Atletico Madrid after Correa scored an acrobatic goal but was cancelled by VAR due to a foul by Savic. It would extend Atletico Madrid's poor form at home and also reducing their chances of making it in top four.
The man of the match was Jorge de Frutos
