As Liverpool prepare to take on Inter away in the UEFA Champions League league phase, here are several key statistics worth noting ahead of kick-off:
Fact 1: Liverpool and Inter have met six times in UEFA club competitions, with Liverpool winning four of those encounters and Inter taking the remaining two. The Premier League side were victorious on each of their last two trips to Italy, including a 2–0 victory in the first leg of the 2021/22 Champions League round of 16.
Fact 2: Inter have secured victories in their last four UEFA group stage/league phase home matches against English opponents. They are also unbeaten in 18 consecutive Champions League home fixtures (15 wins, 3 draws) since their 2–0 loss to Bayern Munich in the group stage back in September 2022.
Fact 3: The Nerazzurri have won ten of their last 11 home matches in the Champions League group stage/league phase (drawing the other) while conceding just two goals over that stretch.
Fact 4: Lautaro Martínez has found the net in each of his past five Champions League home appearances for Inter, scoring a total of eight goals.
Fact 5: Liverpool have come out on top in their last three UEFA matches against Italian opposition and have won five of their previous six Champions League group stage/league phase games against Serie A teams (losing one).
Fact 6: None of Liverpool’s last 31 European group stage/league phase fixtures have ended in a draw. Their most recent stalemate was a 1–1 Champions League result at Midtjylland on 9 December 2020.
