Liverpool is currently positioned outside the top eight in the league, which ensures automatic qualification for the Champions League round of 16. With two matchdays remaining, teams ranked from 9th to 24th will need to compete in a two-legged playoff to secure their spot in the next round.
Last season, Liverpool finished at the top of their group stage but faced the eventual winners, Paris Saint-Germain, in the round of 16. This season, the team's path may lead through the playoffs to qualify.
Liverpool is currently positioned outside the top eight in the league, which ensures automatic qualification for the Champions League round of 16.
Liverpool will play against Marseille on Wednesday. The team could benefit from the return of Mohamed Salah following his participation in the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON 2025). His return is timely as the club deals with injuries to key forwards Alexander Isak and Hugo Ekitike.
