Arne Slot ’s Liverpool continued their flawless Champions League run with a 2-1 win over French side Lille on Tuesday evening, but finishing top of the standings could be detrimental to their aspirations of reaching the final and subsequently winning silverware in the Dutchman's maiden campaign.

A 2-1 victory looked to have done the job with a game to spare only for the second-placed Catalans to beat Benfica 5-4 with a goal in the sixth minute of added time to ensure the race for first place will go to the final fixture.

Liverpool is just one of two teams guaranteed a spot in the last-16 of the Champions League heading into the final week of the league phase, with the Reds' path to the final starting to become clearer.
