The inaugural Champions League league phase is set up for a exciting final-day conclusion with 25 of the 36 teams still awaiting their fate.

The win moved PSG out of the elimination zone in the competition's new-look format and dumped City in it with one game to play. PSG’s re-designed attack finally clicked with four different scorers rather than relying too heavily on one to make the difference.

Paris Saint-Germain finally showed it can shine in the Champions League without star Kylian Mbappé, rallying from 2-0 down in the second half to beat Manchester City 4-2 for a crucial victory Wednesday.

Hello and welcome everyone to The Athletic for our live coverage of Liverpool vs Lille. The Champions League is back today after a more than month-long hiatus and the fixture we're focusing on pits the Premier League leaders against one of the high-flying sides in Ligue 1.

If this is Mohamed Salah's final season at Liverpool, he is going out in style.
