After having dominated Liverpool in the first leg in Milan, despite the victory of the Reds (2-0), Inter made the English team tremble again this Tuesday, with the Italian victory 1-0, in the second leg round of 16 of the UEFA Champions League, with a goal from Argentinean Lautaro Martínez in the 62nd minute.
When Inter dreamed of a comeback and a second goal that would force extra time, their dreams received a jug of cold water with the expulsion of Chilean Alexis Sánchez in the 63rd minute, after receiving the second yellow card, for a tackle on Brazilian Fabinho.
stayed on the bench neroazzurro Ecuadorian Felipe Caicedo, who watched the entire series against the English as a substitute.

The match presented novelties for both teams, with Thiago Alcántara regaining the starting role after his physical problems, and Alexis Sánchez replacing Edin Dzeko, to accompany Lautaro in Inter’s attack.
In the goal that gave Inter hope, Lautaro placed the ball in the right corner, without the Brazilian Alisson Becker being able to do anything to prevent the goal (62).
The good news for the Italian team was short-lived: the Chilean international Sánchez, who received a yellow card for a tackle on Thiago Alcántara’s knee shortly before the break (minute 45+4), received the second and the consequent expulsion, for a new entry at the wrong time on Fabinho (63).
Liverpool went on the attack to take advantage of their numerical superiority and look for an equalizer, with a chance by Egyptian Mohamed Salah at the post in the 75th minute, who had already hit the post in the 50th minute.
The Colombian Luis Díaz, who entered from the bench (83), had a very good chance to equalize, weighed down by the clearance of the Chilean Arturo Vidal.
Despite the triumph in England, Felipao Caicedo is now out of opportunities to debut this season in the Inter shirt at Champions League level. His contract with the Milan institution ends at the end of the 2022 academic year, on June 30.
The Guayaquil striker was a substitute in both games of this series against Liverpool, both at San Siro and Anfield.
For the Italian Serie A, he accumulates just three minutes since he joined the team’s discipline neroazzurro last January.
