Liverpool have been drawn against FC Salzburg in the Champions League last-16 knockout stage.
Jurgen Klopp’s side, who won the tournament in 2019 when they beat Tottenham 2-0 in the final, completed a perfect group campaign with six wins from six and are currently second in the Premier League.
Salzburg emerged from a group featuring Lille, Sevilla and Wolfsburg to become the first Austrian side to qualify for the last-16 since 2001.
Liverpool faced the Austrian champions in the group stages of the 2019-20 season, when Borussia Dortmund striker Erling Haaland played for the club.
Liverpool won both matches against Salzburg that year, a 4-3 thriller at Anfield and a 2-0 win in Austria to seal progress to the knockout stages.
There was considerable confusion during the ceremony, however, after Manchester United were initially paired against group stage opponents Villarreal by mistake, before they appeared to be left out from the draw to play Atletico Madrid.
