The Liverpool squad for Champions League has been announced ahead of their clash against Athletico Madrid. The squad has one notable inclusion in the form of Takumi Minamino who was purchased by the club in the January transfer window for £7.25million. Minamino has replaced Sepp van den Berg, who was included for the group stage earlier in the season. Meanwhile, Minamino played against Liverpool for his earlier club Red Bull Salzburg during the group stage. However, as per the new UEFA rules, a player who appeared in the group stage earlier is allowed to feature for another club during the latter part of the tournament.
