#2 Liverpool F.C.
After a long 15 years, Liverpool will finally enter the competition as the defending Champions of Europe. Jurgen Klopp's Gegenpressing has transitioned the side into one of the most dangerous assembled squads on the planet, if not the most dangerous.
The 2019/20 UEFA Super Cup winners have enough drive to go all the way again and add more silverware to their trophy cabinet. In Group E, the Reds will share the stage with an equally fierce Napoli, Red Bull Salzburg, and Genk.
Although Klopp's army will face tough competition from Ancelloti's Napoli, their unrelenting resilience could prove costly to the other heavyweights standing in their way. The side's last season encounter in the semifinals of the UEFA Champions League against F.C. Barcelona only proves why they can outshine any team in the world at this stage.
Furthermore, the Reds have never lost a two-legged European Knockout tie under Klopp's experiential supervision, which only bolsters the squad's chances to successfully defend Europe's most coveted prize in Istanbul.
