The second leg of the last-16 clash came to a halt in the 25th-minute after a supporter took ill in the stand with the score still goalless.

Medics from both benches raced across the pitch to the famous Kop end to begin treatment.

Liverpool and Inter’s players each went to their respective dug-outs as they awaited the green light to resume play.

And around three minutes later both medical teams received a standing applause as they headed back to their respective benches before play resumed.

It comes two days after Man City’s clash with Manchester United was paused for three minutes during the first-half due to a medical emergency in the stands.

Supporters behind the goal waved for the attention of stewards and medical staff in the 35th minute of Sunday’s huge Premier League derby.

Referee Michael Oliver momentarily paused the game as the medical emergency was given attention.

The match was then able to resume a few minutes later.

City later confirmed that a fan had collapse in the stands and is now recovering in hospital.

This season has seen a number of similar incidents occur during Prem games.

Newcastle’s 3-2 defeat to Tottenham in October was suspended for 20 minutes following an incident in the stands.

Further incidents have taken place around the league in the following months.

The Toon’s clash with Aston Villa at St James’ Park was also delayed due to a medical issue in the stands.
