This is what Liverpool need for UEFA Champions League Group C qualification tonight

Liverpool's Champions League destiny is going right to the wire in Group C, after they were beaten 2-1 by PSG at the Parc des Princes on Matchday 5.

Victory would have seen Jurgen Klopp's side progress to the last 16 with a game to spare, knocking the French giants out, but goals from Juan Bernat and Neymar earned victory, despite James Milner's penalty.

No one in Group C is yet sure of their place in the knockout round, though Red Star Belgrade have been eliminated after their 3-1 defeat to Napoli.

Liverpool will now welcome the Italians to Anfield on the final day for a mouth-watering decider.

Here’s what Liverpool need to qualify from UEFA Champions League Group C…

Pos Team P W D L GD Pts
1 Napoli 5 2 3 0 3 9
2 PSG 5 2 2 1 5 8
3 Liverpool 5 2 0 3 4 6
4 Red Star 5 1 1 3 -9 4

To be sure of qualification, Liverpool need to beat Napoli either 1-0 or by two clear goals. Any other one goal win would leave Napoli with a better head-to-head record.

A victory of any sort would, however, see Liverpool progress, if PSG were to lose in Belgrade against Red Star.
