The Serbians are now out of the reckoning to qualify for the Round of 16. But they could still gain themselves a spot in the Europa League Round of 32.

For that to happen, there is only one combination of results to make it possible. Red Star have to beat PSG in Belgrade, and hope for Napoli to beat Liverpool at Anfield.

That would put the Serbian Champions on seven points, with Liverpool on six. Even if Liverpool draw and move to seven points, Red Star would finish 4th, because of an inferior head-to-head record against the Reds.

They beat Liverpool 2-0 in Belgrade, but lost 4-0 at Anfield. That means the Reds have an advantage in terms of the aggregate head-to-head between the two sides, and would finish above Red Star in the advent of a tie in point
