What is at stake for Galatasaray vs. Liverpool?

Galatasaray will be hoping to deliver a strong showing against the Premier League champions, especially given that this contest represents the first time since 2013-14 that the club have reached the Champions League's round of 16.

Having already beaten Liverpool at RAMS Park this season - 1-0 in the league phase - supporters will be cautiously optimistic, especially considering that the Reds have been far from their best in 2025-26.

As for the visitors, their hopes of retaining the English top flight have been thoroughly extinguished, and they will be eyeing the next-biggest prize that is up for grabs, the Champions League.

Slot's side were able to rest the likes of Hugo Ekitike during their 3-1 FA Cup win over Wolverhampton Wanderers on Friday, and with Florian Wirtz back from injury, Liverpool will be expecting to take a lead back to Anfield for the second leg.
