The Reds fell to Inter by a lone goal at home in the second-leg of the encounter, however, still made it to the last-8 of the tournament.
Liverpool head coach Jurgen Klopp said his side "deserved" to reach the quarterfinals despite some "slapstick" finishing.
Liverpool were saved by their first leg 2-0 victory over Inter in Italy with goals by Roberto Firmino and Mohamed Salah.
The Nerazzurri's only goal came through Lautaro Martinez in the 61st minute.
Klopp said: "The art of football is to lose the right games.
"I still hate it, but if there was any game we could have afforded to lose it was this one because the main target of this competition is to get through.
"It's not that I am over the moon - I'm really happy we went through, because when we saw the draw it was 'OK, that's a tough one'. But we went through over two legs and I think we deserved it.
"It's a big 'if' but if we had used our chances from set-pieces and other situations - it was a bit slapstick how we missed the chances - in the end we could still have won the game.
"But the only thing I'm interested in is that it is fair we are through."
