8 best group stage records in UEFA Champions League history

#8. Liverpool (2021-22)

Salah was one of the top performers for Liverpool during 2021-22 Season

In the 2021-22 season of the Champions League, Liverpool delivered a sensational performance in the group stages by winning all their matches. It was an unexpected and remarkable feat that sent shockwaves through the football world.

Drawn in Group E alongside AC Milan, Atletico Madrid, and Porto, Liverpool started their campaign with a resounding 3-0 victory against AC Milan at Anfield. The electrifying trio of Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane, and Roberto Firmino were unstoppable, tearing through the Italian defense with ease.

Liverpool's winning run continued in their next match against Atletico Madrid in the Spanish capital, where they produced a masterful defensive display to keep a clean sheet and secure a 2-0 victory. The third match was another away fixture, this time against Porto in Portugal, and Liverpool showcased their attacking prowess by scoring three goals and only conceding one in a 3-1 victory.

In their final group stage match, Liverpool hosted AC Milan again, already having secured their spot in the knockout stages. However, the Reds were determined to finish with a perfect record and did not disappoint, winning 2-1 with goals from Firmino and Diogo Jota. AC Milan managed to score a late consolation goal, but it was too little too late.

Liverpool's dynamic attack and rock-solid defense were the key factors in their success, scoring an impressive 10 goals in four matches while only conceding two. The Reds had announced their presence in the tournament with authority and proved themselves to be a force to be reckoned with.

Their unbeaten run in the group stages earned them a top-seeded position in the knockouts, where they beat Inter in the round of 16, Benfica in the quarter-final and Villarreal in the semi-final before losing to eventual champions Real Madrid in the final.

Nevertheless, Liverpool's impressive performance in the group stages of the Champions League 2021-22 season will go down in history as a remarkable achievement that left fans and rivals alike in awe.
