"Liverpool's path to the latter stages of the Champions League and a potential reunion with former Anfield favourite Trent Alexander-Arnold is beginning to materialise. The Reds had already secured safe passage through to the last-16 in Europe after finishing third in the league phase."
"Alexander-Arnold's Real Madrid sealed their spot in the Champions League last-16 after defeating Jose Mourinho's Benfica 3-1 on aggregate on Wednesday evening, with Alexander-Arnold completing the full 90 minutes."
"Should Liverpool draw the Turkish giants, the Reds could find themselves on a collision course with Madrid, with a potential showdown between the two sides in the semi-finals. If Liverpool are drawn against Atletico, then the tantalising prospect of facing Los Blancos in the final in Budapest becomes a genuine possibility."
Liverpool secured passage to the Champions League last-16 after finishing third in the league phase. They will face either Atletico Madrid or Galatasaray in the next round, with the draw scheduled for Friday. Real Madrid, featuring former Liverpool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold, also advanced by defeating Benfica 3-1 on aggregate, with Alexander-Arnold playing the full 90 minutes. Depending on the draw outcome, Liverpool could encounter Madrid in the semi-finals or final. Liverpool and Madrid already met this season, with Liverpool winning 1-0 at Anfield during the league phase. Alexander-Arnold's return to face his former club would be a notable storyline.
