Liverpool ended their Group C campaign at the second spot with nine points from three wins and three losses. They had the same number of points as Napoli but went through thanks to having a win more. Interestingly enough, it could all have ended differently hadn’t it been for Alisson’s incredible save in the last minutes of the last game between the two squads. It is worth noting that they have won their last six home matches against German teams, with a total record of fourteen wins of the seven clashes played.
Bayern managed to stay unbeaten in the previous stage in order to get here. In Group E, they won fourteen points from four wins and two draws. Bayern are unbeaten in their last eight European away games (six wins, two draws), scoring at least two goals in each one. The outing at Benfica was their first clean sheet on their UEFA Champions League travels in 15 previous games. Their record in two-legged ties against English opposition stands at ten wins and five losses.
