Liverpool in danger of missing other round`

Liverpool\'s chances of progressing in the Champions League took a big hit yesterday when the five times European champions conceded late to draw 1-1 at Lyon, which advanced to the next round.



Liverpool looked to have secured victory when substitute Ryan Babel scored with 7 minutes left, but Lisandro took advantage of a defensive error to equalize in the last minute and put the French team through.



With Arsenal moving to the verge of qualification with a 4-1 win over AZ Alkmaar, Liverpool are in severe danger of becoming the first English club to fall at the group stage since Manchester United in 2005.



Even wins in their final 2 games may not be enough.



Yesterday, Sevilla advanced to the knockout stage after their 1-1 draw at Stuttgart and Inter Milan scored twice in the last 4 minutes to revitalize their chances with a 2-1 win at Dynamo Kiev.
