Liverpool are the first team to have confirmed their place in the round of 16 playoffs after beating Real Madrid 2-0 at Anfield, a fifth straight league phase win for the Reds.
Both sides missed penalties in a game which ended with Liverpool maintaining their perfect league phase record, thanks to two well-worked team goals. Alexis Mac Allister combined with Conor Bradley to put the hosts ahead early in the second half, before Caoimhin Kelleher saved Kylian Mbappé's spot kick.
Mohamed Salah then sent his own penalty wide off a post for Liverpool, but the Reds did get a second goal through substitute Cody Gakpo, who nodded in a short corner expertly executed by Andy Robertson.
In other match, Borussia Dortmund have taken a huge step towards the round of 16 as last year's finalists triumphed 3-0 away to Dinamo Zagreb to bring their points tally to 12. A spectacular Jamie Gittens strike set last season's beaten finalists on their way to claiming a fourth league phase victory.
