Champions League 09-10

Debrecen 0 - 1 Liverpool

Ngog seals win but Liverpool crash out

Liverpool crashed out of the Champions League after a bitterly disappointing victory in the Hungarian capital.

The road to Madrid, where the Champions League final is due to be played, now becomes the road to Hamburg - where the new Europa League will reach its conclusion - with Liverpool in with the likes of Valencia, Benfica and neighbours Everton.

Benitez's job "under no threat"

Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez's job is "under no threat" according to the club's managing director Christian Purslow, who has come out to publicly support the under-fire Spanish boss after the Reds crashed out of the Champions League at the group stages for the first time since the 2002-03 campaign.

Liverpool beat Debrecen 1-0 courtesy of David Ngog's early goal, but events at the Ferenc Puskas Stadium in Budapest were irrelevant for the Reds as Fiorentina beat Lyon 1-0 in Florence to join the Frenchmen in progressing to the last 16 from Group E.
