Ucl: Maribor-Liverpool 0-7| as it happened

This will be the first competitive encounter between Maribor and Liverpool.
 
Maribor have won only one of their eight games against England opposition in all competitions (D2 L5), a 2-1 win against Wigan Athletic in the 2013/14 Europa League group stages. They have also never kept a clean sheet in those eight games.
 
Meanwhile, Liverpool’s only previous encounter with a Slovenian club came in the first round of the 2003/04 UEFA Cup. They drew 1-1 away against Olimpija Ljubljana before a 3-0 win at Anfield.
 
Maribor have won only one of their 14 games in the Champions League group stages (D5 L8) – it came in their first ever match back in September 1999 against Dynamo Kiev (1-0). They have never scored more than once in those 14 games.
 
Maribor are winless at home in the Champions League group stages (D3 L4). They are the only team yet to pick up a card in this season’s Champions League.
 
Maribor are making their third appearance in the Champions League after 1999/00 and 2014/15 but have never reached the knockout stages.
 
Meanwhile, this is Liverpool’s 10th Champions League campaign, and only their second appearance in the group stages in the last eight seasons. They haven’t reached the knockout stages of the competition since 2008/09.
 
Liverpool have failed to win their last seven Champions League games (D4 L3), their longest ever run without a victory in the competition. They have also failed to keep a clean sheet in their last nine CL games.
