Arne Slot insisted that he refused to get excited despite Liverpool making it seven wins out of seven in Europe and securing a top two finish in the league phase of the Champions League.
His side beat Lille 2-1 to confirm their place in the last-16 of the competition, where they will be seeded and face one of the eight sides that make it through the February's play-offs.
'We're happy to be in the top eight. That's the only thing that tells me something because this league table doesn't,' the Liverpool boss said.
