Jurgen Klopp’s wards got a confident victory against the Spanish team in the first semi-final match.
Liverpool was able to sink the “yellow submarine”. At home, the Merseysiders won a convincing victory in the first semi-final match of the Champions League.
Notice that the Spaniards had a good first half of the meeting, following which the scoreboard shone with zeros. However, their entry into the game in the second half was poor, and received two goals at the start. And the first of them scored on their own.
Sadio Mane and Villarreal defender Pervis Estupinan scored for Liverpool, cutting the ball from his own goal. The second leg will take place on May 3 in Spain at the Ceramics stadium.
