Liverpool are not in the Champions League draw on Jan. 31 because the Reds automatically qualified for the round of 16. Since Slot's men finished atop the league phase standings, they do not have to participate in the knockout phase playoffs, and are therefore not in the draw.

The UEFA Champions League 2024/25 group stage is over, and the historic Round 8 produced 16 matches across Europe, as it was for the very first time that a single Matchday of the premier continental league of Europe had this many matches.

As the league phase comes to a close, there's still plenty of shuffling that will happen in Champions League play. Only Barcelona and Liverpool have clinched their places in the top eight putting them automatically through to the last 16 but plenty of teams will be looking to join them.
