Champions League last 16, second leg INTER MILAN 0 LIVERPOOL 1 LIVERPOOL WIN 3-0 ON AGGREGATE
If Only they could start every season in February, surely Liverpool would win the lot.
Last night, as Fernando Torres sent Inter spinning through the same Champions League exit chute that Arsenal had pushed AC Milan down a week ago, Rafa Benitez would have been torn between pride and regret.
Pride, that his team had comprehensively dismissed the Italian champions, as Javier Mascherano mastered midfield, Steven Gerrard never stopped running and Jose Reina came up with the goalkeeping goods when it mattered.
Liverpool march through to Friday's Premier League-dominated last eight draw knowing they were by far the better side over the two legs even without the added advantage of another red card, this time for Nicolas Burdisso.
