Jordan Henderson has warned his Liverpool team-mates that Inter Milan have proved that a two-goal lead from the first leg doesn’t guarantee an easy night in the Champions League.
The Reds are preparing to face Benfica at Anfield on Wednesday night and are the overwhelming favourites to secure progression having won 3-1 in Lisbon last week. Jurgen Klopp’s side were good value for their advantage and on another night would have had the tie completely wrapped up - if not for some profligate finishing.
Nevertheless, the Premier League giants will be expected to navigate their way past Benfica, setting up a semi-final clash with Villarreal, who stunned Bayern Munich on Tuesday night. With a two-goal advantage from the away leg, Liverpool are in the exact position they found themselves in against Inter in the last-16, where they were given an almighty fright.
