Liverpool have been confirmed as the final seeds for next season's Champions League group-stage draw, after lifting the trophy in Madrid on Saturday night.
Jurgen Klopp's side defeated Tottenham Hotspur 2-0 to clinch the biggest prize in European football.
The winners of the Champions League automatically slot into Pot 1, which is reserved for the holders of the two European competitions and the champions of the six strongest domestic leagues.
That means Liverpool will join Europa League holders Chelsea among the eight seeds, along with Barcelona (La Liga), Manchester City (Premier League), Juventus (Serie A), Bayern Munich (Bundesliga), Paris Saint-Germain (Ligue 1), Zenit Saint-Petersburg (Russian Premier).
The Premier League will therefore have three teams in Pot 1.

One team from each pot, will be drawn into the eight Champions League groups in the draw ceremony on August 29.
