Report – All possible teams Liverpool could draw in the Champions League round of 16

Liverpool won Group D with a match to spare and will thus avoid other Group winners in the Champions League round of 16

A report by Liverpool Echo has laid out all the possible opponents that Liverpool could face in the UEFA Champions League round of 16.

Liverpool qualified for the knockout rounds with a game to spare on Tuesday as a Curtis  Jones goal was enough to hand the Reds all three points against Ajax Amsterdam.

The Reds squandered the opportunity to qualify with two games to spare when they lost 2-0 at Anfield to Atalanta, but bounced back with a win against the Eredivisie leaders on Tuesday.

Liverpool qualifying for the Round of 16 with a game to spare has led the Reds fans to wonder what possible opponents the team could face.

Jurgen Klopp’s men have qualified as Group D winners and hence will not play against any other group winners in the round of 16.

Chelsea, Manchester City, and Manchester United will also not play against Liverpool until at least the quarter-finals due to the clubs being from the same country.

There is still one more matchday left in the UEFA Champions League group stages, but we look at all the permutations and combinations for Liverpool before the round of 16 draw takes place in Switzerland on December 14th.
