In the new league phase format, the top eight teams progress straight through to the last-16 and avoid an extra two-legged knockout tie.
Liverpool lost to PSV in their final group game but still finished top.
It’s been a smooth ride for the Reds and Arne Slot, who began with a 3-1 win away at AC Milan in September and never looked back. They are now considered among the favourites to win the competition.
Who can Liverpool face in Champions League last-16?
As a result of finishing first in the league phase, Liverpool will either face the winners of the knockout phase play-off between the 15ht and 16th seeds, or the 17th and 18th seeds.
That will be confirmed after the knockout phase play-off draw on Friday January 31, 2025.
