How group stage opponents shape Liverpool’s road to the last 16
I was chatting with a colleague at work about Liverpool’s Champions League group, and we ended up spending half our lunch break debating the strength of the opposition. On paper it doesn’t look terrifying, but matches are rarely straightforward. It made me think about how much group opponents actually influence the chances of progressing rather than just focusing on Liverpool alone.

Based on past seasons, I’ve noticed that Liverpool usually manage these kinds of groups well, even if individual games feel tense.
