Emre Can’s first-half double helped Liverpool reach the Champions League group stages at the expense of Hoffenheim.
Liverpool won 4-2 on the night to win their play-off tie 6-3 on aggregate, and the Reds will now compete in the competition proper for the first time since 2014/15.
It will be Jurgen Klopp’s first venture into the group stages with Liverpool, and the German’s nerves were settled early on at Anfield when Can opened the scoring after 10 minutes.
