Liverpool’s representatives at Euro 2024 have dropped from 10 to seven after the group stages, but who has progressed to the last 16 and who will they face next?
There is still plenty of interest from a Liverpool perspective as we head into the first knockout round in Germany after just three Reds were eliminated.
Andy Robertson, Dominik Szoboszlai and Vitezslav Jaros have all started their holidays following their respective exits, which will see them join the squad prior to the trip to the US.
As for seven of their team-mates, their focus remains on striving for success in Germany with the knockout stages to get underway over the weekend.
Who will progress to the quarter-finals and will any fall short?
