Inter Milan will host Liverpool at the Giuseppe Meazza on Tuesday in the sixth round of the 2025-26 UEFA Champions League's league phase. Last season’s finalists have begun the new UCL campaign in convincing fashion, picking up wins in each of their first four league-phase games as they target another deep run in the tournament.
Inter, however, suffered their first setback on the continental stage in round five, losing 2-1 to Atletico Madrid. After falling behind in the first half, the Italian powerhouse drew level early after the restart courtesy of a Piotr Zielinski strike and had looked set to leave the Metropolitano Stadium with a point before conceding again in the 93rd minute.
Liverpool's nightmare campaign continued on Saturday as they squandered a two-goal lead to draw 3-3 with newly promoted Leeds United in the Premier League, and they have a much sterner test on the European stage this week.
Their last UCL game saw the Reds suffer a heavy and deflating 4-1 home defeat to Dutch side PSV Eindhoven as they shipped three goals in a hapless second-half display. They now sit 13th in the league phase with nine points but will draw level with their midweek opponents with a win on Tuesday.
