#1 Group C just got way more interesting

Qualification to the knockout stages is far from a certainty for Klopp
Qualification to the knockout stages is far from a certainty for Klopp

A win in Belgrade would have sent Liverpool to the top of their group with nine points, and qualification to the knockout stages would have been within touching distance. But their defeat coupled with Paris Saint-Germain's draw in Naples makes their group tremendously interesting.

Napoli and Liverpool are tied at the top with 6 points, followed by PSG with 5, and Red Star with 4. Liverpool's last two fixtures are against PSG and Napoli, and they will need at least one win to have a realistic chance of qualifying.

Both PSG and Napoli will play Red Star, but the game won't be straightforward at all, as yesterday showed quite clearly. The Serbian side will also be harbouring slim hopes of progressing. Numerous permutations will come into play, as the group will end with a nerve-wracking finish. As they say, anything can happen!
