Having topped the league phase table and qualified directly to the Round of 16, Liverpool now await their fate as the Reds will find out their pathway to the trophy in the upcoming Champions League knockout draw.

The UEFA Champions League's knockout phase will kick off on Tuesday, February 11-12 with the return legs to be played the week after, on February 18-19 and will determine the eight teams that will face the first eight sides that already qualified in the League Phase.

Arne Slot has made a decisive move by including 16-year-old Rio Ngumoha in Liverpool’s UEFA Champions League squad for the knockout stages. This decision underscores the club’s confidence in the young winger, who transferred from Chelsea to Liverpool in September 2024 amidst considerable controversy.
