Liverpool Host Galatasaray Needing Anfield Turnaround To Keep Champions League Bid Alive

The tie doubles as a referendum on Arne Slot’s tenure with PSG awaiting the victor.

Overview

  • Liverpool trail 1-0 from Istanbul and return to Anfield needing a comeback to reach the quarter-finals.
  • Team news points to Alisson starting after his weekend return, with selection reshuffles expected as injuries and ineligibilities bite, including Conor Bradley out for the season and Calvin Ramsay unavailable.
  • Galatasaray arrive with a narrow lead and resilience from two 1-0 wins over Liverpool this season, though centre-back Davinson Sánchez is suspended for the second leg.
  • Dominik Szoboszlai said players held internal talks stressing the need to secure Champions League qualification and urged supporters to stay with the team throughout matches.
  • If Liverpool advance, they will face Paris Saint‑Germain, who confirmed their place in the last eight by eliminating Chelsea 8-2 on aggregate; elsewhere, Manchester City attempt to overturn a 3-0 first-leg defeat to Real Madrid, with reports indicating Kylian Mbappé could return for the visitors.
