Liverpool's 10 possible Champions League play-off opponents have been confirmed... they could face a reunion with Mario Balotelli

Liverpool are back in the Champions League, but their fourth place finish means they must negotiate a two-legged play-off to reach the group stage.

They will face one of 10 teams who finished second or third in their domestic competition, in what UEFA call the 'league route' of qualification - as Liverpool are seeded thanks to their co-efficient ranking, either one of the eight unseeded sides who enter the third qualifying round, or one of the two already in the play-off.

All the major European leagues are finally completed, so the teams taking part are confirmed - and there are some familiar names for Reds fans.
