While Liverpool will not retain their Premier League title this year, supporters believe a seventh European Cup could be secured at the Puskás Aréna on 30 May. As it stands, Liverpool could face Atlético Madrid, Galatasaray, or Juventus.Having finished third in the Champions League league phase, Arne Slot's team have gone straight through to the round of 16, skipping the ongoing play-off round.



Then, in Tuesday's early kick off, Diego Simeone's side got the job done, demolishing the Belgian side 4-1 at the Metropolitano, thanks to Alexander Sørloth's hat-trick. Liverpool and Atleti have already met this season, doing so on matchday one of the league phase in September.

GalatasarayAnother team Liverpool have already faced in this season's competition in Galatasaray, and the pair could be set to meet again. That's because, last Tuesday, Okan Buruk's team hammered Juventus 5-2 in the first leg of their tie, thereby travelling to Turin with a commanding first leg advantage.
