In a key match in the 6th round of the Champions League stage that ended in the early morning of December 11, Beijing time, Liverpool defeated La Liga powerhouse Girona 1-0 away. After six consecutive wins in the Champions League, Liverpool continue to lead the table with 18 points. Liverpool also became the first team to advance to the last 16 of the Champions League after the implementation of the new format.

When the Champions League draw was drawn, Liverpool was considered to be the second-worst club after Paris. In the first pot, they drew Leipzig and Real Madrid, in the second pot, they drew the strongest Bayer Leverkusen and AC Milan, in addition to Girona and Bologna, the two dark horses in Europe's top five leagues last season.

However, in the end, Liverpool won all six of their opponents, scoring 13 goals and only scoring one goal in the opening game against Milan, Christian Pulisic never conceded a goal since. After six consecutive Champions League wins, Liverpool are just one game away from equalling the all-time record.

After beating Real Madrid 2-0 at home in the previous round, Liverpool have already secured a place in the knockout play-offs. After beating Girona 1-0 in this round, Liverpool, who have 18 points, skipped the knockout play-off stage and advanced to the round of 16 of the new Champions League in advance.

In other words, in the next two Champions League games with Lille and PSV Eindhoven, in addition to winning bonuses, Liverpool can boldly rotate the main team. There is no need to consider the "troubles" of the play-offs, such a good situation is indeed the envy of other giants who are still fighting fiercely for the qualifying places.
