Liverpool secured their place in the Champions League knockout stages with a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Lille. The Reds needed just a point from their final two group games to progress, a feat that seemed inevitable from the outset. Mohamed Salah etched his name further into Liverpool history by becoming the first player in the club's illustrious history to score 50 European goals, a milestone reached with a characteristically clinical finish.
Harvey Elliott, introduced as a substitute, added a second with a deflected strike to secure the win and extend Liverpool's unbeaten run in the Champions League to seven games, equalling their best sequence in the competition's era. Liverpool's dominance also saw them set a new club record for most minutes without conceding in Europe, surpassing the 572 minutes achieved by Rafael Benítez's team in 2005-06. The victory against Lille, who pushed Liverpool hard despite ending the match with 10 men after Aïssa Mandi's dismissal, showcased Liverpool's resilience and attacking prowess.
