EXTRAORDINARY xG stats prove just how dominant Liverpool have been this Champions League campaign.
When Liverpool were drawn in a Champions League group alongside Atletico Madrid, AC Milan and Porto, you couldn’t help but fear for Jurgen Klopp’s men.
The Reds do not possess the strength in depth that Manchester City do and would need to rotate in Europe in order to remain fresh for the Premier League title pursuit.
Somehow, someway, the team who arguably would have been the more worthy champions of England won all six of their games and reached the knockout stages.
From there, they have battled with European heavyweight after European heavyweight and dominated them to such an extent that the xG figures are just remarkable.

Irrespective of whether Liverpool win tonight, they have been far and away the best team in this competition, just as they were in the Premier League all season.
Klopp’s men will go down as one of the greatest club sides of all-time.
