The reigning Premier League champions will be confident of defeating the Portuguese champions, who finished second in Group C.

Inter booked their spot in the Round of 16 despite being consistent in the group stage losing both home and away to Real Madrid. 
 
"The draw has been made now and it’s an exciting one," Liverpool left-back Andy Robertson told The Mirror. 
 
"I was on the bench last week [against AC Milan] which at least meant that I could go, but the San Siro is a stadium that I’ve wanted to play in since I became professional.
 
"It’s iconic, an amazing stadium. ‘After visiting last week I enjoyed being able to be there and take it in, but hopefully come February then I can be on the pitch and enjoy it even more."
