LIVERPOOL, England (Reuters) - Inter Milan must score early to stand any hope of toppling Liverpool in Tuesday's Champions League last-16 second leg, coach Simone Inzaghi said on Monday.

Liverpool won the first leg in Milan 2-0 after using their experienced substitutes' bench to their advantage following a strong start from Inter, who made it to the knockout stage of the competition for the first time in a decade.
