Who Liverpool could draw in the Champions League last 16 | OneFootball

Liverpool await their fate in the Champions League draw after progressing to the last 16 as one of the top two seeds under Arne Slot.

The Reds romped to the top of the standings in what was a memorable inaugural league phase for the six-time European champions.
