Liverpool will face Spartak Moscow, Sevilla and Maribor as they return to the Champions League for just the second time in eight years.

Jurgen Klopp's Reds saw off Hoffenheim 6-3 on aggregate to reach the group stages of European football's top tier competition on Wednesday, and hopes are high that the five-time European champions can go far.

The last time Liverpool were in the group stages they exited with a whimper in the 2014/15 campaign, but memories of the club's 2005 victory in this competition are never too far away.

Klopp and his men will have to go a long way to repeat that success though, and that starts here.

Here's who they drew.
