BREAKING: Liverpool Champions League opponent confirmed as Reds handed rematch in last-16

Liverpool will face Galatasaray in the last-16 of the Champions League after the draw was made for the knockout stages.

The Reds will re-enter the competition next month after avoiding the extra play-off round thanks to their top-eight finish in the league phase, and they've been handed a rematch against Galatasaray as their first test on the road to May's final in Budapest.

Details will be confirmed in due course, but Liverpool will travel to Istanbul for the first leg on March 10/11, before hosting its opponent at Anfield for the return leg on March 17/18, with Arne Slot's side aiming to take the first step towards a seventh European crown.

The last-16 tie sees a rematch of one of Liverpool's games from the league phase. The Reds suffered a 1-0 defeat when they originally traveled to Istanbul, and will be hoping to avoid a similar fate next month.
