Yahoo News What Liverpool need for UEFA Champions League Group C qualification
Liverpool's Champions League destiny is going right to the wire in Group C, after they were beaten 2-1 by PSG at the Parc des Princes on Matchday 5.
Victory would have seen Jurgen Klopp's side progress to the last 16 with a game to spare, knocking the French giants out, but goals from Juan Bernat and Neymar earned victory, despite James Milner's penalty.
No one in Group C is yet sure of their place in the knockout round, though Red Star Belgrade have been eliminated after their 3-1 defeat to Napoli.
Liverpool will now welcome the Italians to Anfield on the final day for a mouth-watering decider.
Here’s what Liverpool need to qualify from UEFA Champions League Group C…
Pos | Team | P | W | D | L | GD | Pts |
1 | Napoli | 5 | 2 | 3 | 0 | 3 | 9 |
2 | PSG | 5 | 2 | 2 | 1 | 5 | 8 |
3 | Liverpool | 5 | 2 | 0 | 3 | 4 | 6 |
4 | Red Star | 5 | 1 | 1 | 3 | -9 | 4 |
To be sure of qualification, Liverpool need to beat Napoli either 1-0 or by two clear goals. Any other one goal win would leave Napoli with a better head-to-head record.
A victory of any sort would, however, see Liverpool progress, if PSG were to lose in Belgrade against Red Star.
