Villarreal vs Liverpool

Villarreal CF welcome Liverpool to Estadio de la Ceramica on Tuesday for the second leg of their UEFA Champions League semifinal with Jurgen Klopp's men ...

Emery and his players to succeed in beating Klopp's troops yet for the Spanish outfit to still bow out. Liverpool: The quadruple is very much still on for the Merseyside giants, but Klopp will be aware that Villarreal were obdurate until they were undone by a fortuitous opener last week. Liverpool are the strong favorites, but Villarreal have already shown that they have an appetite for the big occasion and the stakes do not come much higher than this as far as their season is concerned. Champions League success would guarantee a return next season but that seems unlikely at present. Craving even more coverage of the world's game?

FIFA 22 predicts that an early goal for Liverpool could kill the home side's slender hopes, with the Reds having superior quality and experience at this stage of the competition. In the end, this game was settled by the early goal, with Klopp's side sealing their place in the Champions League final. Fabinho let fly with a shot from just outside the area, which was palmed away by Rulli, but Mane was alive to the rebound and tucked it home from close range.

Here are some potential betting angles for the second leg of a semifinal series that looks to be a formality after Liverpool brushed aside a well-coached ...

Eventually, Liverpool found a way through, bagging two goals in the span of three minutes. While Liverpool has so far flopped in second legs holding a first-leg lead, this game should be more like the first leg than what Liverpool showed against Inter and Benfica. Without Moreno, Villarreal's attack is toothless, and the Reds should win comfortably. Seven of those attempts failed, and it resulted in consistent Liverpool attacking pressure on the ball. In the five matches without Moreno, Villarreal scored just four goals, losing three of the five games. Liverpool has gained a multi-goal first-leg lead in all three of its previous Champions League knockout matchups this season, and all three times the Reds failed to win the second leg but advanced anyway. Liverpool is understandably the heavy favorite, and the task may just be too tall for Unai Emery to conjure up another European upset.

The UEFA Champions League semifinals are back this midweek with the second legs and Villarreal CF need a minor miracle if they are to advance past Liverpool ...

Emery's game plan will have to change tonight, which is likely to provide greater space for Liverpool on the counter-attack. Throughout the 90 minutes at Anfield last week, the 'Yellow Submarines' failed to register a single shot on target. It’s a small ground here at Villarreal and the interest from the media is large. But with no away goals rule, dreadful conditions and the knowledge anything can happen in these games, it’s not going to be straightforward for Klopp’s side. A 2-0 lead from the first leg at Anfield last week against a team they are much stronger than should, in theory, means this is less stressful for those supporters tonight. If Jurgen Klopp’s side are professional and disciplined here tonight then it is very hard to look another final appearance for Liverpool in my view. Liverpool at the moment, I don’t see anything but a win for them." We knew it was going to be tough last week against Villarreal. The atmosphere was incredible. Might be a good idea given the weather is deteriorating again here. Their victories have been achieved by sitting in deep, defending well, being prudent in possession and counter-attacking with speed, but it’s the home side who need to force the issue tonight. Unai Emery is attempting to secure Villarreal’s first Champions League win over English opposition at the 14th attempt tonight. They are 2-0 down so we expect them to give it a go.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has provided a fitness update ahead of the Reds' clash against Villarreal in the UEFA Champions League semi-final second leg.

Villarreal will go with all they have that is absolutely clear, from the things Unai Emery said after the game.” He will travel with us, but he will not be involved in the squad yet. We had issues with stomach bugs too and they are all back.

They’ve pressed well and scored the goal they needed. 6 mins: It was sloppy defending from Liverpool and they’ll need to respond after going behind. He knocks it down to Naby Keita who flicks it over the Villarreal defence with his first touch. 12 mins: Liverpool win a free kick on the inside left channel and Andy Robertson is the man to curl one into the box. He leaves a bit too much on the Villarreal forward and gives away a free kick. The Reds defeated Newcastle 1-0 on Saturday to keep their Premier League title challenge alive, with Manchester City then responding to remain one point in front.

Hello, and welcome to The Athletic's coverage of tonight's Champions League semi-final second leg between Villarreal and Liverpool.

Klopp has made five changes to the team that narrowly beat Newcastle in Saturday's early kick-off. Those in yellow are preparing for arguably the biggest night in their club's history this evening. Torrential rain earlier today looked as though it would affect the game but the groundsmen at El Madrigal have worked their magic. Meanwhile, their opponents have to deal with all the pressure, could that be a deciding factor? You could certainly tell that Villarreal were missing their main talisman in the first leg and Emery will be relieved that Moreno has been passed fit to start. Liverpool fans will not need reminding but the Reds have not won a European semi-final away leg since 1985. Unsurprisingly, Alexander-Arnold is back in his natural habitat tonight: on the right-hand side of the Liverpool defence. Regardless of the success in the next few weeks, Klopp signalled his intent to continue his progress on Merseyside by agreeing a new contract last week. The other former Premier League stars to watch out for in the hosts' squad include Foyth, Lo Celso, Capoue, Coquelin and Iborra. El Madrigal is bouncing and those fans in yellow have never had better reason to celebrate! Villarreal are all over their English opponents at every opportunity, it will be interesting to see whether they can maintain the intensity. Liverpool will eventually find their rhythm but they need to find it quickly or the tie could soon be level.

It should also be noted that without Benrahma in the side all three of the corners Filip Kostic took for Frankfurt were only cleared as far as a different player in white. Moyes' side have now conceded 10 such goals in the Premier League this season, firmly in the middle of the pack, with four of them coming since the start of April. Not so coincidentally this has coincided with the period where the Hammers have been forced to chop and change their back line on the fly thanks to a myriad of injuries. Gabriel Martinelli has time to take a touch, get the ball out from under his feet and clip a delivery to the back post for Gabriel to head in. Nine of their Premier League assists have come from dead balls, the most in the top flight along with Manchester City. They have four in the Europa League. No other team has scored more than two. Onto the Europa League, where last week's suggestion that English clubs are about to sweep the board in every competition is looking more than a bit dicey. Last Tuesday the visitors had no answer for City's sustained possession play but put Fernandinho in front of Vinicius Junior and they could find a devastating moment. Villarreal are not a team that deals well with the pressure of being behind, indeed in the 20 La Liga and Champions League matches in which they have been losing this season their record reads one win, six draws and 13 defeats. Every one of Paris Saint-Germain, Chelsea and even a victorious City have been baffled at how the score looks quite how it does when the final whistle blows. Trent Alexander-Arnold's rapid switches of play and balls down the line were a key feature of the Reds' first leg success, how much more successful might they be if he is not having to thread the needle between a full back and the nominal winger who is stationed a few feet ahead of him. In the smaller sample size of European matches it is 0.02 and they had not come up against a team like Liverpool before last week. Indeed, one might argue that in dragging Klopp's side into such a fiddly match for an hour Villarreal achieved more than should be reasonably expected from a team of their means. In the UEFA Champions League, Europa League and Conference League (catch all the action on CBS and Paramount+) a place in a major final is just 90 minutes away.

It was a tale of two very contrasting halves from Liverpool, but they are through to a fifth Champions League final this century.

It’s one thing to lose a header at the back post, another entirely to fail to spot the run and so not even jump for it. Diogo Jota is no slouch, but Diaz is a cut above. Two crosses caught Liverpool’s defence on their heels, with Van Dijk, Andy Robertson and Trent Alexander-Arnold all guilty of reacting too slowly.

The hosts embarked on a walk of honour at the final whistle with the city proud of a team dwarfed by the resources of their opponents. His goal today was his first in the Champions League since March 2017 vs Manchester City while still with Monaco. Villarreal looked like they had expended all their energy and with Liverpool's next attack, they nudged ahead to land a huge psychological blow. Villarreal pair Boulaye Dia and Francis Coquelin both scored their first ever Champions League goals in this match. They are only the second side to lose a Champions League semi-final match despite leading by 2+ goals at half-time, after Ajax vs Spurs in 2018-19. "We never make these Champions League semi-finals easy for ourselves," Alexander-Arnold told BT Sport. "Thinking back to Roma away and Barcelona at home and now here.

It has already won the league cup, and will play in the F.A. Cup final at Wembley on May 14. In part that is doubtless because of home advantage, and in part it is because Villarreal has to attack. It began with a cross from Estupiñan on the left to Étáenne Capoue, who got in behind Andy Robertson at the back post. 25′ Liverpool’s turn: They force the ball into the Villarreal box and Rulli blocks Mané. But he leaves the rebound free for a split second and Salah takes a stab at it just as he puts his hand on it. But the referee had blown play dead for a foul, and we come back the other way. He runs right past a flat-footed Alexander-Arnold and just like that, Villarreal leads by 2-0, and the aggregate is all square. At halftime, Unai Emery’s team was in control of the game and in control of the two-legged tie, and Liverpool — the overwhelming favorite — seemed to have had its confidence sapped and its rhythm broken. But he creates some space at the end line — far too easily if you’re Liverpool — and crosses in the direction of Coquelin in the center. You can, ultimately, rely on the Champions League. A little less than an hour ago, Liverpool was sailing through to a third final in five years, its second leg with Villarreal really more of an administrative matter. Just as it did in the first leg a week ago, Liverpool has changed the fabric of this tie in little more than a blink of an eye. Unai Emery’s approach at Anfield was understandable — his mission was, essentially, to remain in the tie — but it felt a little like a good plan, ineffectively executed. Liverpool gets on the board through the most unlikely of sources, Fabinho, but its goal on a low, driven shot is deserved.

Liverpool dominated from the word go in the second half and pressed for goals with a barrage of attacks on the Villarreal goal. What a disastrous night for Villarreal keeper Rulli. After conceding two goals through his legs, this time he charged out 40 yards from goal to challenge Mane and failed miserably. But Jurgen Klopp threw on Diaz for Diogo Jota at the interval to shake Liverpool into life and it worked, the visitors scoring three times in 12 minutes to kill off Villarreal's revival and advance to their third Champions League final in five years.
