Liverpool to face Inter Milan after Champions League last 16 re-draw

Liverpool will face off against Inter Milan in the last 16 of the 2021-22 Champions League after the draw had to be re-done.

The Reds were scheduled to face Red Bull Salzburg following the original draw, but a technical error on UEFA’s part meant that the teams needed to be re-drawn on Monday afternoon.

Confusion arose when Manchester United were initially drawn to face Villarreal – whom they faced in the group – and the Red Devils were then not included as an option to face Atletico Madrid.
