Liverpool are thirsty for even more success in Arne Slot’s second season at the helm and will be eager to make a deeper run in the Champions League.
No team were better than Liverpool during the inaugural UEFA Champions League league phase a season ago. However, the Reds exited the competition in the round of 16 thanks to a heartbreaking penalty-shootout defeat at the hands of eventual champions Paris Saint-Germain.
But the reigning Premier League holders are poised to return with a vengeance. On the back of a summer where they splashed cash more than any other team in Europe, the reinforced Reds look formidable.
Liverpool haven’t made it past the Champions League quarterfinals since they were finalists in 2021–22. This season, the expectation is to break that trend and go on a similar run, adding only a happier ending.
Here’s a look at who Liverpool could face in the opening round of the competition, with the league phase draw taking place on Thursday.
