Liverpool beat Girona 1-0 on Tuesday night to advance to the knockout stages of the Champions League.
Mohamed Salah scored the only goal of the match via penalty. It was his 46th goal in this competition.
Alisson Becker made a few strong saves, but apart from that, Liverpool were pretty ordinary.
The Reds need to pick up a point in their final two games in the league phase to be assured of a top-eight finish.

Jamie O’Hara says the Reds are “killing everyone” and that the lead they are enjoying both in the Premier League and in the Champions League is “embarrassing”.
He said on talkSPORT: “You look at the Champions League table, you look at the Premier League table, it’s embarrassing. Liverpool are just killing everyone.”
Liverpool can still hit different levels under Slot
The Reds have lost only once this season, and they are in a good place.
They have made a dream start in Europe, winning all of their six games so far, and Slot can afford to drop some of his key players for the next two games.
Liverpool have been ordinary in most games they have played this season, but they have somehow managed to get results.
In the Premier League, they have a healthy four-point lead over Chelsea, with a game in hand.
With key players set to return shortly from injuries, Liverpool are expected to get stronger in the second half of the season.
Once again, Salah has made the difference. The Egyptian has now scored 16 goals in 22 games in all competitions and has the joint-most goals and assists (28) in Europe’s top five leagues this season.
Slot will also boosted by the return of Alisson, while Harvey Elliott also got a few minutes from the bench.
Liverpool will face Fulham at Anfield in their next Premier League game on Saturday.
