A Tactical History of Liverpool, Episode 5: Internazionale - Liverpool 1965, European Cup 64/65

Just days after winning the FA Cup, Liverpool were due to face Helenio Herrera's Internazionale in their European Cup semi-final.
Inter were at their peak. They were the reigning World and European champions, while they were about to be named Italian champions too, whereas Liverpool had finished seventh in the league and this was their first season in Europe.
With the roar of Anfield behind them, Liverpool played with twelve men at home, however for the away leg it is alleged that Inter had a twelfth man of their own.

I watched this final at the age of 11 years. Since then, so much has passed under the bridge of life - you'd never believe it.

[@markkerr8657]

Excellent video and analysis.

[@merseydave1]

Tommy Smith said "after the Inter away leg, when we all walked off the pitch I really whaked the referee's ankel ... he did not respond and hobbled off the pich"

[@johndowling5850]

Absolutely fascinating. Good mix of narrative and film.

Me dad went to the Inter game. 14 years old, in the ground by 4pm.

[@Harlequin1951]

It was said that referee's daughter was ill and needed an operation. Inter covertly gave the referee the money/bribe for it. The referee duly repaid Inter on the pitch! 🤔

brian gladville mentioned that in a interview for lfctv in 2008

[@nonameslb]

My main problem with football managers is how tactically naive they were. Again you can't say it was 1965 as the Hungarians had shown the WM up and if you thought about it 4--2-4 cannot be the answer.

[@umbertostradella7381]

Liverpool was a good team, but Inter had many top players, was stronger

[@rukdropov]

Yeah possession football. Or just bribe the officials.

[@kingarthurusatenniscoach1415]

Technically better team Inter
