Dinamo Zagreb, on the other hand, have nosedived since their shock opening day win against Chelsea. The Croatian side have picked up a solitary point in their ...

Alvarez has already scored four goals for City, including one in the Champions League, and he should get plenty of chances in a game that City will likely dominate from start to finish. Only Borussia Dortmund and the irrepressible Jude Bellingham have managed to breach the City defence in Europe this season and this Sevilla side are unlikely to become the second. With just one goal conceded in five games, City have the best defensive record in the Champions League this season ahead of Bayern Munich, who have conceded two goals in the competition.

Below, GOAL goes through all of the sides to have bowed out after losing all of their group games... Even some of the game's more well-known sides have suffered the ignominy of failing to pick up a single point. Sadly, in recent times, as the gap between the haves and have-nots grows wider in Europe, this is happening more frequently to some of the competition's smaller teams.

Liverpool next Champions League opponent shows why FSG made ... (Liverpool Echo)

But for good reason was there undoubted delight at the news Joao Mario had scored deep in injury time for Benfica in their final Champions League game at ...

Given they haven't won any of their last six meetings with Real, Liverpool would perhaps not welcome another trip to Bernabeu. The repetition Real want is already happening now. Liverpool got beyond Porto three times in the last five years, while they overcame Bayern on the way to winning the tournament in 2019. And only three times here in Madrid. “If we look at tennis legends, Nadal and Federer have played for example 40 times in 15 years," said Perez at Real Madrid's annual general meeting. "Nadal and Djokovic have so far played 59 games in 16 years. What is the point of depriving fans around the world of these matches?" If we look at the last Champions League finalist, Liverpool, an historic team with six European Cups, it turns out we have played them only nine times in 67 years. [Not least given comments only last month from Real Madrid president Florentino Perez](https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/what-point-real-madrid-send-25158240) on the apparent rarity of such fixtures as he attempted to drum up support for the flailing European Super League initiative with which Fenway Sports Group had their fingers so badly burned in April last year. [Liverpool](https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/all-about/liverpool-fc) would be spared the possibility of a return in the last 16 to Paris, with memories of events before, during and after the Champions League final in May in the city still raw in the minds of supporters, who patiently await the publication of UEFA's independent review into the matter. [Jurgen Klopp](https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/all-about/jurgen-klopp) and his players would undoubtedly be at pains to point out every team who reaches the knockout stages of the competition is a major threat, Benfica - who the Reds eliminated in the quarter-finals last season and from whom they since taken chief striker Darwin Nunez - would represent a less daunting challenge than the might of Kylian Mbappe, Neymar and Lionel Messi at PSG. It leaves Benfica as one of only four possible opponents for Klopp's side in the first knockout round when the draw takes place in Nyon at 11am on Monday, with Porto, Real Madrid and Sadio Mane's Bayern Munich the others - ensuring there is a high probability Liverpool will be drawn against a team they played last season.
