Liverpool’s 2-0 win against Real Madrid on Wednesday evening secured promotion from the Champions League phase.
Second-half goals from Alexis Mac Allister and Cody Gakpo at Anfield gave Arne Slot’s side a deserved result against the current defending champions.
It was a fifth win from five games for the Reds in the competition’s new format, which sees them lead the standings by two points.
Liverpool are also now guaranteed to finish in the top 24 with three rounds of matches remaining.
The first eight clubs in the final table advance directly to the last 16, while the teams in ninth to 24th place play a home-and-away play-off round.
The Reds’ next game in the Champions League is a trip to Girona on December 10th. Matches with Lille and PSV Eindhoven follow in January.
