Liverpool FC can no longer be denied a direct entry into the round of 16 of the Champions League. Coach Arne Slot’s team won 1-0 (0-0) at FC Girona and confidently leads the premier class table with the maximum number of points of 18 points from six games. The first eight clubs qualify directly for the round of the best 16.
Star striker Mohamed Salah gave the Reds the lead with a penalty kick in the 63rd minute. Referee Benoît Bastien gave the penalty based on video evidence. Girona, on the other hand, only has a slim chance of at least reaching the intermediate round. With three points, the Spaniards are currently in 30th place, which would not be enough to move into the knockout phase. Meanwhile, the duel between Dinamo Zagreb and Celtic Glasgow ended goalless.
