Liverpool qualified for the round of 16 in the Champions League after defeating Lille 2-1 in the penultimate round of the group stage.
Mohamed Salah put the Reds ahead in the match played at Anfield, then Jonathan David equalized in the second half, before Curtis Jones scored the winning goal for the home team.
Thanks to this victory, Liverpool continued its series of consecutive victories this season in the Champions League, reaching 7 matches with 21 points, topping the group standings.
Thus, Liverpool will not need to play the round of 16 play-off, and became the first to qualify directly for the round of 16.
The first 8 teams in the league stage qualify directly to the round of 16, while those from 9th to 24th place play the play-off in a two-legged system.
Barcelona succeeded in accompanying Liverpool to the round of 16 after defeating Benfica 5-4 in a marathon match at the Estadio da Luz.
It is noteworthy that Liverpool will face Eindhoven next Tuesday in a match that is a foregone conclusion for the Reds, concluding the first round matches.
