Liverpool would have liked to have a peaceful evening in Spain when it set out to defend a 2-0 lead in the Champions League semi-finals.
Villarreal head coach Unai Emery already said after the defeat of the opening match that the second part will be completely different.
He was right. The match had been played for less than three minutes when I ate Capoue humiliated Andy Robertsonia and turned the ball in front of him in front of the goal. Senegalese striker wins African championship Boulaye Dia got the first spot, and shot the yellow-shirt home team’s opening goal.
However, Villarreal’s bet didn’t end there. The team’s aggressive crease pressured Liverpool into constant mistakes, and for some reason Jürgen Kloppin the crew didn’t get their game started at all.
The sky fell on his neck at least a moment in the 41st minute as Capoue continued to bully Robertson. The Scottish kit was unable to prevent concentration, and the Arsenal wreck Francis Coquelin pushed asleep in the situation Trent Alexander-Arnoldin from the front to the Villarreal 2–0 break line.
The match turns
The first 45 minutes of the match had gone exactly according to Emery’s plan – and that was a problem. Since the chase had been successful, one had to think about how to proceed from here on out.
Villarreal didn’t know if the gas would continue at the bottom or already think about a possible penalty race.
Hesitation retaliated because of Klopp ‘s pause and Luis Díazin the indulgence aroused the Reds from a fatal hibernation.
At an hour Fabinho restored Liverpool’s interest. Brassi played the wall Mo Salahin with, and since Fabinho could no longer find feed lines, he decided to try it for himself.
Villarreal Argentine hammer Gerónimo Rulli does not belong to the sharpest tip of the species. The ball bounced harmlessly off the post, though.
At this point, Villarreal’s faith in his own possibilities disappeared. It had risen magnificently from a 0-2 back trip to the levels, but repeating the trick seemed impossible.
That’s what it was.
Substitute Díaz pushed for a goal kick between Alexander-Arnold Sadio Mané escaped to finish tonight’s 3-2 winning streak.
Liverpool will advance to the Paris finals with a total of 5-2 goals, but its performance in the semi-finals showed everyone how the team’s self-esteem can be shaken.
