Inter Milan 1-0 FC Barcelona: Calhanoglu belter wins it for Nerazzurri, Liverpool 2-0 Rangers: Alexander-Arnold & Salah earns Reds victory in the Battle of Britain

Italian Serie A outfit Inter Milan secured a commendable 1-0 victory over Spanish La Liga side FC Barcelona, following a high-tempo clash at the San Siro on Tuesday night.

Hakan Calhanoglu’s first half stoppage effort from long range proved to be the difference, as Simone Inzaghi’s men surged into second place in the group. Pedri had the ball in the net for the visitors, but the goal was chalked off.

Elsewhere, Liverpool bounced back into reckoning by defeating Scottish Premiership giants Rangers 2-0 at Anfield.

An early free-kick by maligned full-back Trent Alexander-Arnold set things in motion, and Egyptian star Mo Salah converted a second half penalty as the Reds got all three points on the night.

The Catalans have the luxury of fielding Robert Lewandowski, Ousmane Dembele and Raphinha in attack, while Gavi will be in the heart of the midfield.
