A lot of people thought that because Liverpool performance in EPL is outstanding, they will be able to go far in UCL. Some people went far to say that Liverpool would win UCL, because they performed was superbly in the group stage. Group stage is not what we can use to judge who will be the winner of any competition, because some clubs might not take their matches serious in the group stage. Let's take PSG for example.
But isn't that normal considering how Liverpool performed in the early stages when they played 8 match with very satisfying results and besides that they were very consistent in both competitions, even people who are not Liverpool fans are also amazed at Liverpool who started this season with many significant improvements even though it is also true that the group stage is considered not so important by some team so they play less than optimally.
And talking about PSG I think they were just lucky this time, haha this is just my passing thought.
