Liverpool fans are eagerly awaiting the 2024/25 UEFA Champions League draw, set to unfold in a brand-new format. With the competition expanding to 36 teams and introducing a “league phase” instead of the traditional group stage, excitement is building for what lies ahead.
The new “Swiss model” format means that each team will play eight games instead of the usual six. This change increases the likelihood of big teams facing off earlier in the tournament, adding an extra layer of unpredictability to the draw.
Who will Liverpool face in Champions League 2024/25:
At Anfield, Liverpool will host Bayer Leverkusen, Real Madrid, Lille, and Bologna. These home games promise to be thrilling encounters, with the tie against Real Madrid particularly standing out, as the two clubs have a storied history in European competition. Leverkusen and Lille are also formidable opponents, while Bologna adds an interesting Italian flavour to the mix.
On their travels, Liverpool will face RB Leipzig, AC Milan, PSV Eindhoven, and Girona. The away games include a tough visit to the San Siro to play Milan, a team with a rich Champions League pedigree. Leipzig and PSV are both strong sides with a history of causing upsets, while Girona represents a less familiar challenge in European football.
This season’s draw under the new “Swiss model” has added a fresh dynamic to the competition, with Liverpool’s fixtures reflecting the increased likelihood of big teams meeting early in the tournament. As Arne Slot’s men prepare for this diverse set of opponents, fans will be eager to see how Liverpool navigates this challenging path in their quest for European success.
Full details on their fixture schedule with kickoff times will be confirmed on August 31.
