Liverpool may have serenely made their way to the Champions League knockout stages but behind them very little has been decided ahead of next week's final round of matches. The Reds secured their place in the top eight and direct progress to the last 16 in March with a 2-1 home victory over Lille on Tuesday night.

The result confirms Liverpool as one of the top two teams in this year’s league phase and if the six-time champions avoid defeat in their final match against PSV Eindhoven next week, they’ll progress into the knockouts as the No.1 seeded team.

Arne Slot ’s Liverpool continued their flawless Champions League run with a 2-1 win over French side Lille on Tuesday evening, but finishing top of the standings could be detrimental to their aspirations of reaching the final and subsequently winning silverware in the Dutchman's maiden campaign.
