Ian Rush: Liverpool FC’s Champions League Destiny Will Be Shaped By Fiorentina Showdown

Many are expecting Liverpool’s Champions League fate to be decided a fortnight today but I’m convinced it will boil down to the last game against Fiorentina.

I can see Lyon getting a result in Florence and the Reds seeing off Debrecen to set things up for a Match Day Six showdown at Anfield.

When you think how composed and controlled Liverpool was in Lyon, it is hard to comprehend that they are on the verge of elimination.

If they do go out, though, they will look back with great frustration about the performances at home to Lyon and in Florence.

Lisandro’s last minute goal for the French side summed up how this tournament has gone for us this year and could ultimately end our ambitions.

Should that be the case, Rafa Benitez and his players will have to focus on the job of making sure they are in the Champions League once again next season.
