Inter Milan and Liverpool will meet for the fifth time in European play.
Each of the previous four has advanced to the European Cup knockout stages, with Inter advancing over two legs in the 1964-65 semifinals – the year they won the cup – and Liverpool advancing from the Round of 16 in 2007-08.
Former Inter Milan coach Roberto Mancini announced his departure from the club at the end of the season after that match.
The club then chose Jose Mourinho as his replacement, and two years later, the Nerazzurri won the Champions League.
Inter Milan has been eliminated from two of their past three two-legged knockout encounters against English opponents under the current UEFA Champions League format (since 2003-04).
All three of these teams have advanced to the Round of 16 stages, losing to Liverpool in 2007-08 and Manchester United in 2008-09, respectively, before eliminating Chelsea in 2009-10.
