Liverpool Champions League draw: Reds learn 2020 group stage opponents
Liverpool will play Ajax in this season’s Champions League group stage following today’s draw in Switzerland.
Jurgen Klopp’s Premier League champions, drawn in Group D, are awaiting their remaining opponents as we speak.
The Reds, who won the competition in 2012 by defeating current champions Bayern Munich on penalties at their own stadium, were eliminated last term by Diego Simeone’s Atletico Madrid at the last 16 stage.
There was great frustration for Klopp et al with the Spaniards sitting in, absorbing pressure and essentially perfectly executing a smash and grab at Anfield after extra time.
The Reds edged out Napoli for top spot last term at this stage in a hard-fought battle with the Italians, who won and drew in both games. Red Bull Salzburg and Genk finished in third and fourth respectively.
