Liverpool’s 2-0 victory over Real Madrid on Wednesday night ensured they will advance from the Champions League league phase.
Second-half goals from Alexis Mac Allister and Cody Gakpo at Anfield gave Arne Slot’s side a deserved win against the current holders.
It was a fifth win from five games for the Reds in the competition’s new format, and they top the standings by two points as a result.
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 will advance directly to the last 16, while those placed ninth to 24th will contest a two-legged play-off round.
The Reds’ next Champions League fixture is a trip to Girona on December 10, and meetings with Lille and PSV Eindhoven follow in January.
