The day after Manchester City’s victory against Real Madrid at the Etihad Stadium (4-3), Liverpool won the second semi-final first leg of the Champions League against Villarreal (2-0), Wednesday evening at Anfield . The Reds took a big step towards the final at the Stade de France.
Liverpool take a good option for the last step. 24 hours after Manchester City’s success against Real Madrid after a match that will be remembered (4-3), Jürgen Klopp’s Reds enforced the hierarchy by taking the best of Villarreal at Anfield (2- 0), Wednesday evening, in the semi-final first leg of the Champions League.
Faced with a yellow submarine which appeared on the lawn in the skin of the head-cutting outsider, after eliminating Juventus Turin in the round of 16 and Bayern Munich in the quarter-finals, the Mersey club came up against the Spanish defense for a long time before converting his total domination. Remained silent in the first period despite twelve shots, unheard of at this stage of the competition, the English touched wood by Thiago Alcantara (42nd), before forcing the lock in the second period in the space of two minutes.
Liverpool opened the scoring with a csc from Pervis Estupinan (53rd), on a cross from Jordan Henderson. In the process, the partners of Alisson Becker realize the break by Sadio Mané (55th), the Senegalese striker deceiving Geronimo Rulli from the right after a service from Mohamed Salah. The main thing is assured for the locals before the second round at La Ceramica next Tuesday, during which Unai Emery’s men will aim for a new feat.
