Carl Recine/Getty Images Liverpool legend Phil Thompson believes that despite their lacklustre Premier League form, the Reds have a great chance to win the Champions League. The defending Premier League champions have had a tough season following up their league winning campaign last year and have already lost nine games in the league.

Liverpool have now lost five games to 90th minute or later goals in the Premier League this season, the most of any side in the competition’s history, showing their defensive fragility this term. Liverpool however, are still in the FA Cup and the Champions League, two ‘good’ cup competitions, according to former Reds defender Thompson.

“I think we will have a great chance in that.” Liverpool last won a cup competition in 2023/24 season, when they beat Chelsea in the final of the EFL Cup. The Reds lost in the EFL Cup final last season under Slot and last won the Champions League in 2019, with Jurgen Klopp as boss.
