Liverpool', 1-0 victory has ended Inter's hopes thanks to Fernando Torres' 26th goal of the season to join the Gunners, Manchester United and Chelsea in Friday's quarter-final draw.

Jamie Carragher played his 100th European match as Liverpool claimed the 12th European Cup quarter-final place in their history. going through on aggregate 3 - 0.
