Liverpool’s initial Champions League opponents have been confirmed, and Arne Slot has his work cut out for him during his first campaign with the Reds.
The new Liverpool manager has enjoyed a fine start to life at Anfield, seeing his side go two for two in the Premier League.
However, the Champions League is a different beast altogether. Europe’s finest teams collide in what is an intense new format to ultimately be crowned the best of the best in the continent. The stuff of dreams.
It all starts with ‘phase one’ as it’s known with the new format. Here’s who Liverpool will be facing in their opening bouts of the greatest competition in Europe.
Liverpool Champions League 24/25 opponents confirmed
The eight teams Liverpool will be facing in the Champions League 24/25 this season are:
- Real Madrid (H)
- RB Leipzig (A)
- Bayer Leverkusen (H)
- Milan (A)
- Lille (H)
- PSV (A)
- Bologna (H)
- Girona (A)
The order of fixtures will not be announced today. We will not know exactly when every game is until Saturday.
Can Liverpool win the Champions League this season?
The question on everyone’s lips. Can Liverpool actually go all the way and win the competition?
The Reds are in a transitional period for the first time since Jurgen Klopp’s arrival but still possess some dynamite talent which will light up the Champions League stage.
However, saying this, there are some simply ludicrous squads also in the tournament. The likes of Manchester City and Real Madrid both have far greater team rosters on paper.
He’s going to have to get through this initial phase. And after that draw, it definitely isn’t going to be a walk in the park.
