The English team in the toughest confrontation got the season win against Villarreal.
Liverpool became the first finalist of the Champions League. The British got it right by beating Spanish Villarreal. Note that after home 2-0 wards Jurgen Klopp looks clear favorites in the fight for access to the decisive stage of the competition.
However, the rematch turned out to be very difficult for them. The hosts got their backlog in the first half, after accurate shots by Boulaye Dia and Francis Coquelin.
But everything changed in the second half. The Spaniards got a goal from Fabinho in their own net after a goalkeeper’s mistake, then the game went completely wrong for them. Luis Diaz almost matched immediately. And a few hours later, Sadio Mane set the final score – 3: 2 in favor of Liverpool, who in the final will play against the winning pair of Manchester City – Real Madrid.
