Liverpool will face one of Galatasaray, Juventus, Club Brugge, or Atletico Madrid in the round of 16 after finishing in the top eight of the league phase, avoiding the playoff round. If Galatasaray advance against Juventus, Liverpool or Tottenham would await in the next round.
The draw for the last 16 takes place on February 27, with potential quarter-final matchups including a possible rematch with Paris Saint-Germain, who eliminated Liverpool at this stage last season.
