Christmas markets, free-scoring teams & the Reds’ route to more European glory

European away days have it all, don’t they? Chris McLoughlin looks at the Reds’ trip to Salzburg with Christmas markets, barrelfuls of goals and reasons for optimism ahead of a must-not-lose-by-most-scorelines game. Salzburg Christmas Markets are said to be some of the best in Europe so it’s appropriate that supporters of the best team in Europe will be sipping their glühwein and tucking into their roasted hogs, before watching their local team being knocked out of the Champions League by the European champions on Tuesday night. Liverpool go to the Rouge Bos Taurus Arena top of Group E, needing a win to secure first position or a draw to ensure progress to the last 16. I’m reliably informed that even a 5-4 defeat would be good enough, but such a scenario seems unlikely given the Reds haven’t conceded five goals in a game for a good, err, six weeks now.
