AcademyLiverpool qualify for UEFA Youth League knockout phase

The young Reds finished their league-phase campaign with a 2-2 draw away at Girona on Tuesday afternoon, Trent Kone-Doherty scoring a late equaliser as Barry Lewtas’ side contested a large portion of the game with 10 players.

Liverpool ended the phase with eight points from their six matches and in 19th place, which was enough to secure progress to the last 32.

The top 22 finishers in the league phase are joined by 10 qualifiers from the domestic champions path in the first round of the knockout stage, which is formed of one-off fixtures.

The Reds will discover their next opponents when the last-32 draw takes place in Nyon on Friday December 20, with ties to be played across February 11/12, 2025.
