Liverpool performance this season is indeed extraordinary, even though they have a busy schedule in the domestic and European leagues but they can still maintain their performance well so far, even though they had difficulties in breaking into Villareal goal in the first half but the hard work done by Liverpool players managed to end sweetly with a 2-0 win at the end of the match, 2-0 capital seems to have been enough capital for liverpool to set one foot in the final and I think it will be difficult for villareal to make a comeback in the second leg later even though they play at home.
I think so too. 2 goals difference is pretty much impossible to catch up for Villareal. Odds for qualification are Villareal 13.0 and Liverpool 1.02, so this is like a 95% chance for Liverpool's qualification by the bookmakers.

Real Madrid vs ManCity is going to be more interesting. Here ManCity is only 1 goal ahead. Odds for qualification are Madrid 4.3 and ManCity 1.18, which is more like 80-20. This will be the more exciting game in the 2nd leg imho and I am looking forward to it.

Seeing these numbers, one clearly says that Real Madrid has the ideal conditions to win, since they will play at home, and apart from that they did not do so badly as visitors, but there is something that drowns those hopes, and before the players it is Pep Guardiola , Pep Guardiola always has the necessary experience to spoil the party anywhere, even in the first leg he was shown a yellow card, it is rare to see that this coach shows his emotions so much, he is usually very calm, and for me in Regarding the last game, it will be the final, because clearly Pep will not come out to surrender, they will come out with everything and leave Real Madrid on the field with a possible failure of not going to the final.

We had a really unforgettable match yesterday. I think that even Liverpool weren't expecting to start the match like that despite Emery's words before the match. He said that it was not going to be easy for Liverpool as it was in Anfield. And by their amazing first half performance, I believe that Liverpool got his point there. After I saw that Villarreal ended the half 2-0 ahead, my interest in the match increased a lot. But in the second half, Liverpool made them remember who is the boss again and made an incredible comeback. But even though they won by 3-2, I really appreciate Villarreal's high effort in this round.

In that match I really liked how the Colombian played, in fact he was named the best player of the match, that player was connected with everything, with the team, with the goal, with everything, really Villareal did everything to win but in Actually they couldn't, I don't know if it was lack of luck or lack of that "luck" that every champion team has.

Villarreal played well and they were passing the round according to their performance in the first half but their opponent was a very strong team and they played by reaching their real performance in the second half so they were able to pass the round. Liverpool began to wait for who his opponent will be in the match to become the champion his opponent will be determined tonight Smiley

About the match today between Real Madrid and Liverpool today on who joins the waiting Liverpool at the final of this year's champion's league, Manchester looks like a better side to me. They have a formation that looks stronger to cause damage than Madrid. I prefer to see an all Europe final at the end. Kudos to Liverpool for taking the lead at the second half.

We are heading towards the Liverpool - Manchester City final again. English clubs have dominated the Champions League in recent years. With the end of the Messi-Ronaldo era, the Spanish dominance came to an end.
It will be a big surprise if Real Madrid gets their final ticket today. Just Benzema and Vini Jr. it's not enough to make something. Manchester City is a much more compact team and can get a score contribution from any player. If they don't make ridiculous individual defensive mistakes, they won't lose this match.
Man City does have a more solid dominance of the game. they are strong on all fronts and compact. moreover, they have won on aggregate in the first leg. This makes Man City's opportunity to challenge Liverpool in the final match.
but Madrid's opportunities are still open. they are also a strong team. The difference of 1 goal could be pursued by Madrid if Man City was wrong in anticipating Madrid's strategy.
but to be honest I prefer the final between England and Spain representatives.

Villarreal have been the big teams slayer in the Uefa Champions League this season, big teams from Italy and Germany had all fallen to Villarreal but it seems that Jurgen Klopp is truly one of the amazing manager who manage to lead Liverpool and eliminate Villarreal out from this tournament.

It was indeed a very job well done by Liverpool yesterday, they prove to the world that they are one of the best teams in Europe and the entire world.
Villareal also tried very well because nobody expect them this far in this season Champions League, they Eliminated big teams to qualify to this stage, they have did a very wunderful job, I hope seeing them strong next season.

3rd CL Final in 5 years with Klopp, incredible.
Since Klopp took office as Liverpool coach, a lot of changes have occurred. The return of Liverpool's glory cannot be separated from Klopp's cold hands, he was able to build Liverpool back into a giant in the Premier League and Europe. Three times are entering the UCL final in the last five years cannot be separated from Klopp's role, this season Liverpool has the opportunity to add to the collection of UCL trophies, Liverpool needs one more game to celebrate the second UCL with Klopp.

My flights & hotel are booked for Paris 27 - 30 May. Now I just need to get 2 tickets. I didn’t go to every game so I am not eligible for face value tickets. I am going to end up paying extortionate prices from a tout or something but I will be in that stadium on 28 May.

3rd CL Final in 5 years with Klopp, incredible.

Unfortunately I wasn't able to watch this match, but judging by the stats Villarreal had a good chance to make the final, but they switched roles with Liverpool in the second half. Hopefully today will be an equally interesting match. Honestly I can't even guess who can win, but I think Real Madrid can do it to face Liverpool in the final like they did a few years ago.
It was a game-defining result, Liverpool have done well, they deserve to be in the final. Another match between Real Madrid vs Manchester City became the center of attention of football fans, these two teams both deserve and have a chance been in the final. Real Madrid who acted as hosts wanted to celebrate their success is going to the final, while Manchester City wanted to embarrass Real Madrid at home. It is difficult to make predictions for this match, because both teams have a balanced strength.

Villarreal showed me very quickly that I was wrong in saying that the matter of reaching the final is already settled after the first game. The first half was perfect in their performance. In the second half, however, we saw Liverpool playing at their highest level and Villarreal's dreams were quickly over. However, the hosts deserve a lot of applause, Unai Emery has created a really great team. However, I am concerned that this team may quickly disintegrate, as Villarreal may not even qualify to the cups next season, and the top players will certainly be able to pick from the big clubs' offers.
Villarreal deserve credit for their efforts to achieve their goal of reaching the final considering they had already lost 2-0 in the 1st leg. Villarreal's first half showed that with effort, goals would be easy to achieve but what can be said if Liverpool turned things around so quickly that Villarreal's spirit changed. . Liverpool proved that the winning mentality is on them.

and that is also a merit of coach Jürgen Klopp. he can move a lot with his speeches and his aura and that was also seen yesterday in the second half.

Agreed, I was furious with our 1st half performance but was still quite sure we would progress to the final. We can have a bad patch but we rarely have a horrible full 90 minutes against a weaker team.

Regarding the finals - he also has 1 EL final in his 1st year, meaning 4 finals in 6 years. Truly impressive, although I have to admit that our draw this season was as lucky as you can get.

Manchester City will surely have a tough time facing Real Madrid today as I think Real Madrid will keep on attacking right from the start of the game with support and cheering from their home fans, I guess there is a chance Manchester City will force a draw upon Real Madrid at the final whistle and qualify to the finals.

I still think that despite the difficulties, Man City will manage to reach the final.
Even so, Real Madrid will put up a lot of fight and could reach the final. One thing is for sure, if Real Madrid reach the final they will almost certainly win.

Looks like Liverpool was on fire yesterday,their player Arnold said that we really got our a** tight during the half time break and we put our sh*t together  Grin in an interview after the game.I was shocked to see that until the 60 minutes Villareal was leading 2-0 but then the "remontada" came from Liverpool this time and I think they are going to win the final no matter who their opponent is,for me Liverpool is the strongest team in the world right now and I doubt Real Madrid or Manchester City would be able to face them.

LiVARpool had the earliest draw to the final in the competition's history (Inter Milan, Sporting CP, and Villarreal), there is nothing to be proud of in playing Europa League standard teams throughout the competition. Manchester City is deserving of it more, and I wish them the best of luck against Real Madrid today.

The Villarreal goalkeeper had LVARpool on his bet to win, which was an act of match fixing on his part. What a flop of a performance.

I almost thinking Villareal will made a history because leading 2-0 in the first half is quite amazing but indeed Liverpool was not give up and can equalized even win and in this match Diaz makes Liverpool performance different because after his goal Liverpool performance was better and i think Liverpool under Klopp had best achievement this season because so far Liverpool will faced 2 upcoming final matches for FA Cup and Champion league
Villarreal started the game with a bang, channeling the stadium's energy into their play. Which took Liverpool nearly an hour to get on the scoresheet due to heroic performances from Villarreal's defenders and goalkeeper. Villarreal lost their gears as they allowed Liverpool to keep more relaxed possession of the ball and build attacks slowly. Luis Diaz's introduction spurred them on as they looked threatening. He made an instant impact as he constantly drove at Villarreal's defence showing an abundance of pace and trickery. In the end, it turned out to be a game of two halves. Liverpool were thoroughly outplayed in the first, whereas in the second, they mounted a heroic comeback to deservedly book their place in the final.

I don't recall anyone making us play this bad as Villarreal did in the first 45 minutes yesterday. We did not have a shot on target, our xG was 0.06, we had only 3 touches in their box and our passing accuracy was abysmal - around 65%.

I was really pissed off - we should not have allowed this to happen. Still - our 2nd half performance was good enough and overall we deserve the final.
