Liverpool handed Champions League boost as Man City and Chelsea face nightmare draw

Liverpool will not face Paris Saint-Germain in the last 16 of the Champions League after the French giants finished second in Group H.

The Reds finished as runners-up in Group A and were at risk of drawing PSG, yet that's no longer possible after Wednesday night's results. It also means Manchester City, Chelsea or Tottenham could now face Christophe Galtier's side in the first knockout round.

PSG were denied top spot in Group H after Benfica hammered Maccabi Haifa 6-1 in their final game. As PSG also won their last match by beating Juventus 2-1, Benfica were deemed group winners by virtue of away goals scored - boasting a nine to six advantage.
