Liverpool will already know how challenging the trip to Istanbul will be when then face Galatasaray. Even Galatasaray's Victor Osimhen said earlier in the week that he would prefer to avoid Liverpool. Deal with Galatasaray and the prospect of a quarter-final against Chelsea or PSG is tantalising to say the least. They have a tough draw, with either Bayern Munich, Atalanta, Man City or Real Madrid as potential semi-final opponents. But only a fool would write off the team that has won this competition more than any other English side.
