Champions League draw: ‘What a joke’, ‘Why not Villareal?’ reactions to Inter vs. Liverpool

Neither Inter nor Liverpool fans are happy with the second Champions League draw and there have been plenty of reactions on social media.

Simone Inzaghi’s side had got Ajax in the first draw, which was cancelled due to a ‘technical problem with the software of an external service provider.’

They were way unluckier in the second draw as they got Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool, one of the best clubs in Europe.

The Nerazzurri will play the first leg without Nicolò Barella who was sent off in the last  group stage game against Real Madrid. The Serie A champions will hope the Italy international doesn’t get a two-match ban, so he can at least play the return leg at Anfield Road.

Inter reacted with irony on social media to the cancelled Champions League draw.

“Travel guide for Amsterdam for sale. No time wasters,” they wrote.

After the second draw, they shared the same tweet again, tagging Benfica who will face the Lancers.

Some Inter fans also used irony to comment on the draw, while others were not in the mood for jokes.

Fair to say Liverpool fans were also disappointed to get the Nerazzurri.

At some point, they thought they could be drawn against Villareal, but the La Liga side got Juventus instead. Why?

Because if they got Villareal, Inter’s only options would have been Juventus or Real Madrid. The Bianconeri are from the same country, while Madrid were in their group, so the Nerazzurri could not meet either clubs.
