Liverpool now know the route they must take if they want to reach the Champions League final. The Reds have been drawn against Benfica in the quarter-final of the competition, with the first leg taking place in Portugal before the return leg at Anfield.
Should Jurgen Klopp’s side claim victory over Benfica, they would then earn a semi-final clash against either Villarreal or Bayern Munich.
It will be the first time that Liverpool have faced Benfica since the 2009/10 Europa League campaign, which the Reds won 5-3 on aggregate in the quarter-final. The two clubs also met in the Champions League last-16 in 2005/06, which Liverpool lost 3-0 on aggregate.
