Following an up-and-down league phase, Liverpool booked a direct route into the last 16 of the Champions League and now wait to see who their opponents will be.
Arne Slot’s side ultimately won six and lost two of their eight games to claim third spot in the table, although endured a couple of rough spots during that spell – most notably when suffering a humiliating 4-1 home defeat to PSV in November.
But they are safely into the knockouts and in a season where a proper Premier League title challenge has failed to materialise, Europe offers an opportunity to still pick up some silverware.
Having been paired with the fourth-place finishers from the league phase, Tottenham, Liverpool know that their last-16 opponents will be one of four sides.
The Reds will face either Club Brugge, Atletico Madrid, Galatasaray or Juventus.
Club Brugge against Atletico is in the balance after a dramatic saw the Belgian side come from 2-0 and 3-2 to snatch a 3-3 draw on home soil, although Atleti will be confident of getting over the line in Madrid this week.
Meanwhile, Juve have it all to do in Turin after being thrashed 5-2 in the first leg in Turkey, where they had Juan Cabal sent off with 25 minutes remaining, giving Galatasaray a great chance of battling past the Old Lady.

The Champions League last-16 draw will take place in Nyon at 11am GMT (12pm local time) on Friday 27 February.
