Leverkusen is the only club in the competition with an impeccable record of six wins in the round of 16.
Saint-Gilloise was clearly the more dangerous team against coach Jürgen Klopp’s team, who had already won the group, and deservedly took the lead through Mohamed Amoura (32nd). Although Liverpool managed to equalize through 20-year-old homegrown player Jarell Quansah (39′), Cameron Puertas (43′) put the Belgian hosts back in front before the break.
The Reds also performed weakly in the second half and were lucky that a second Puertas goal did not count due to a handball (62′). However, this could not prevent the second defeat in the current competition. While Liverpool and Toulouse continue in the Europa League, Saint-Gilloise is switching to the Conference League.
In Sturm Group D, double packers Luis Muriel (14th, 73rd), Giovanni Bonfanti (26th) and Charles De Ketelaere (92nd) gave the table first Atalanta a 4-0 away win at Rakow Czestochowa, meaning that the Graz team Because of the better goal difference compared to the Poles, who had the same number of points, they stayed in third place and overwintered in the European Cup.

Karabakh Agdam took second place, the Azerbaijanis defeated BK Häcken from Sweden 2-1. Pool A won West Ham 2-0 in a direct duel with SC Freiburg.

In Group B, Brighton made it to the round of 16 with a 1-0 home win over Olympique Marseille, which meant the southern French team slipped to second place. In AEK Athens’ 1:3 defeat at Ajax Amsterdam, the Greeks were missing their goalkeeper Cican Stankovic due to injury. Meanwhile, Glasgow Rangers defeated Betis 3-2 in Seville and were rewarded with first place in the tight Group C ahead of Sparta Prague. The Czechs moved past Betis with a 3-1 win in Cyprus at Aris Limassol.
