Spider-Man actor among stars attending Inter vs. Liverpool

Among the big names expected in the stands at San Siro for the Champions League encounter between Inter and Liverpool are Tom Holland, Diego Milito, Julio Cesar and Ivan Cordoba.

The first leg of the Round of 16 kicks off on Wednesday at 20.00 GMT.

Current COVID restrictions in Italy mean the stadium is still only allowed to open at 50 per cent capacity, with vaccination status and a medical-grade mask required for entry.

There were therefore circa 38,000 tickets up for sale and they were snapped up immediately.

According to the Gazzetta dello Sport, among those present tomorrow evening for the big game will be Spider-Man and Captain America actor Tom Holland.

The 25-year-old Brit is a Tottenham Hotspur fan, so it’s not clear if he will be cheering on the Nerazzurri or the Reds, but he’s present because he is already in Italy to help publicise new movie ‘Uncharted.’

There will be plenty of committed Inter representatives too, as Amazon Italia are using 2010 Treble-winners Milito and Julio Cesar as pitch-side pundits for the occasion.

Another ex-Inter player, Ivan Cordoba, will be in the stands, as he lives in Italy now due to his work with Serie A club Venezia.
