Liverpool Look to End Inter's Celebrations
Posted March 11, 2008 Posted Under: Champions League
While Inter Milan have been celebrating their 100th year in the build up to Tuesday's crucial Champions League last 16, second leg clash against Liverpool at the San Siro, the visitors from Merseyside will have their own little 100 to celebrate.
Jamie Carragher will become the first Liverpool player to make 100 appearances in European football, should he take his usual place at the heart of the defence to help the English side defend a 2-0 lead from the first leg three weeks ago at Anfield.
While on paper, Inter look the better side -- riding high at the top of the Italian league while Liverpool face a fight with city rivals Everton just to finish fourth in England's Premier League and qualify for next season's premier European competition -- Carragher believes European football is tailor made for his team.
Carragher isn't just excited about his 100th appearance, it will also be the first time he runs out at the San Siro.
Already three English sides, Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal, have made it through to the quarter finals and Carragher doesn't want his team to let the country down.
