The Reds had the chance to get into the Champions League group stages last night as we played host to Hoffenheim in the second leg of the play-off tie.
And they certainly grasped the opportunity with both hands as they battered their German visitors from the very get go with a commanding performance.
Indeed, from the start we were looking sharp as Sadio Mane saw an early chance go begging but things quickly turned up a notch as Emre Can hit the opener.
His goal would be quickly followed by one for Mo Salah and then another for the German midfielder and from there, despite a Hoffenheim goal in the first half, the Reds never looked in doubt.
Indeed, Roberto Firmino added a fourth before another Hoffenheim goal for a 4-2 win and passage into the Champions League group stages and so all that remains to do now is give our player ratings from a top evening…
