Liverpool will face Inter Milan in the Champions League’s last 16.
Monday’s draw for the knockout stage of Europe’s elite club competition had initially seen Jurgen Klopp’s side paired with Austrian outfit Red Bull Salzburg.
But a technical error by UEFA led to the original match-ups being voided and subsequently redrawn, with the Reds now set to face the Italian champions.
February’s first leg will see Liverpool step out at the San Siro in successive European appearances following this month’s Group B finale with AC Milan.
The return fixture is set to take place at Anfield on March 8, 2022.
Inter’s last competitive meeting with Liverpool was in the first knockout round of the Champions League back in 2008, when they lost 3-0 on aggregate.
Two late goals from Dirk Kuyt and Steven Gerrard at Anfield tipped the balance in the hosts’ favour before Fernando Torres scored at the San Siro.
Prior to that, the sides met in the 1965 European Cup semi-final as the Italians edged out Bill Shankly’s side courtesy of a 4-3 aggregate win.
“I had to wait 54 years to play at the San Siro for the first time, and now it’ll be twice in three months, so that’s good news,” said Klopp.
“It is a tough draw, definitely. They are the league leaders in Italy [and] a good team in a good moment.
“We will see how things go until we meet in February.
“Obviously [Alexis] Sanchez and [Edin] Dzeko we know well, and Lautaro Martinez is one of the most exciting strikers in the world, probably.
“Simone Inzaghi is there, his first year, last year they were champions, but it is the Liverpool way – it’s never easy, but still possible, so let’s give it a go.
“It’s a proper Champions League tie and I am absolutely looking forward to it.”
