I am glad we (Liverpool) are already qualified for the last 16. Some of our players look tired so it will be nice to rotate and give players a rest without it affecting our chance at winning the CL.
We also won’t have to play that two legged play off which is a huge bonus. Teams like Man City and Real Madrid might not have this luxury.
For now Liverpool can sit back and strategize to always be ready to play match after match. An extraordinary achievement if they really sweep 8 matches without being defeated. No club in the Champion League can be like Liverpool with 0 defeats and 0 draws from 6 matches that have been played, but remember that doesn't mean everything is finished. While some big teams such as Dortmund, Bayern Munich, Milan, Madrid, and Man City must fight harder.
Yeah, Liverpool will feel a sign of relief now because they have played a very good performance in this season, and that is what will determine their success in this season, although even other big teams struggled to make it to the round of 16. It might be a challenge for Liverpool still because for a small mistake, they might just get knocked out from the league, but I have hope in them. I think they will try to make it as the champions, viewing their performance from the start of the season.
For teams like Real Madrid and Manchester City, I hope they make it to the round of 16 because, considering their performance, they will have to put more effort into their performances not to lose or even have a draw in any of the remaining 2 games, if not, they won’t be able to make it.
