Liverpool's Last 16 Opponents Narrowed After Galatasaray Win

Galatasaray's 5-2 victory over Juventus has sharpened Liverpool's potential last 16 opponents in the Champions League, with the Reds set to face one of four possible teams in the next round.

Liverpool have secured their place in the last 16 of the Champions League by finishing in the top eight during the league phase, avoiding the play-off round. With Galatasaray's emphatic first leg win over Juventus, the potential opponents for Arne Slot's side are now clearer - they could face Galatasaray, Juventus, Club Brugge, or Atletico Madrid.

The draw for the last 16 is scheduled for February 27, with Tottenham Hotspur taking the alternate tie. Further down the bracket, potential quarter-final opponents include PSG, Barcelona, Chelsea, Benfica, Real Madrid, Borussia Dortmund, and Atalanta, providing a clear path but with significant challenges should Liverpool advance.
