How realistic are Liverpool’s Champions League prospects?Looking at the teams left in the competition, the biggest challenge for Liverpool will be reaching the Champions League final, never mind winning on the night in Budapest, against what will surely be Arsenal or Barcelona.To get there, Slot’s men will have to overcome two of the strongest sides in the competition in PSG and Bayern / Real Madrid. If it wasn’t being made hard enough, with Liverpool’s injury list and fixture congestion, it’s now been confirmed that PSG have had their league fixture against Lens postponed to allow them to have fully fresh legs for both fixtures.While Liverpool are chasing the likes of Kevin and Samuel Chukwueze down the wing in a vital clash for their hopes of attaining Champions League football for next season, the PSG will squad have their feet up eating croissants.

If the Reds can progress to the semifinal, it could be a great time for him to get a run of games and start banging in the goals.If Liverpool only had the Champions League to worry about, I think they would have a real chance. There’s just something special about Liverpool and the European cup, and obviously, they have the talent in the squad to beat anyone.

The risk is that Slot’s men get caught between two stools trying to get top five and also go far in the Champions League in FA Cup, resulting in the legs breaking down, and they miss out on all their targets. This season it’s felt like every time they get one player back, they lose two more.
