Who could Liverpool face in Champions League quarter-finals? Reds route to glory already revealed
Liverpool already know their potential route to the Champions League final – and it could well be a nightmare. The Reds returned to European action by stealing a 1-0 win away at Paris Saint-Germain in their last-16 first leg last week. Elliott scored a heroic goal for Liverpool in their win over PSGGetty Arne Slot‘s men survived an onslaught from PSG to then go and score at the other end late on thanks to Harvey Elliott. It leaves them on the brink of a place in the Champions League quarter-finals, with the second leg at Anfield this Wednesday. Progression would see fans already mapping their route to the final and this year, it’s not that hard to do so. Unlike previous editions, Liverpool have already discovered all their potential opponents en route to glory. What is Liverpool’s route to the final? Liverpool will face Club Brugge or Premier League rivals Aston Villa in the last eight of the Champions League should they beat PSG. Villa are 3-1 in front after the first leg between them and Brugge, meaning an all-English tie is now very possible. The Merseysiders haven’t played Belgian side Brugge since the 1978 European Cup final at Wembley Stadium. A Kenny Dalglish goal was enough for Liverpool to seat a 1-0 win and become the first English team to retain the European Cup. Meanwhile, Slot’s side have already faced Unai Emery‘s team twice in the Premier League this term, drawing 3-3 at Villa Park last month. A semi-final could bring another top-flight rival in Arsenal or a reunion with Champions League foes Real Madrid, in addition to the two’s respective last-16 opponents – PSV or Atletico. Should Liverpool reach the final then eight clubs on the opposite side of the last-16 bracket, including Barcelona, could be their challenger.
