Liverpool is back in the Champions League after a one-year hiatus, and the six-time winners will look to shake up the new-look competition.
The club featured in the competition every season since 2017 sans last campaign, reaching the knockout stage in each one. The group stage, now known as the "League Phase", will look a little different this season.
Arne Slot coached Feyenoord in the Champions League last year, leading them out of a group featuring Arsenal, Sevilla, and Lens. They were knocked out by Borussia Dortmund in a narrow Round of 16 matchup.
