Liverpool exacted revenge for an earlier defeat by comfortably beating Marseille 3-0 at the Stade Vélodrome in a UEFA Champions League group stage match on January 22, 2026. The victory sealed Liverpool's place in the knockout rounds and ended Marseille's hopes of progression from the group. Liverpool took the lead midway through the first half with a well-worked team goal and never looked back. They doubled their advantage early in the second half from a corner and added a third late on as Marseille pushed forward in vain. The match was a controlled away performance from Jürgen Klopp's side, who managed the game expertly after taking the lead. Marseille, needing a win to stay alive, lacked the cutting edge to trouble a resolute Liverpool defense. The result confirmed Liverpool as group winners and eliminated the French side from European competition for the season. Klopp was delighted with the response from his players, while the Marseille manager congratulated Liverpool on their quality.
