Well, its official.
“Teams from the same Association will not meet each other in the next round”
That’s the verdict from UEFA this evening.
So there will be no Merseyside derby in Europe just yet.
The draw will be made tomorrow to decide who Liverpool will face in the last 32 of the new competition.
We are going in as an unseeded team due to our poor performances in the Champions League this season.
We may face teams like Roma, Valencia, Juventus or Villareal.
These teams will be tough oppositions for Liverpool, given our current form with a general lack of confidence and an inability to keep a clean sheet.
It would be a nice trophy to win as long as we finish in the top four come the end of the season.
