Villareal still lucky to go home two goals behind Liverpool since that could have been three or four. There's no coming back from this but "miracles" do happen in football.

I don't understand how is the first goal listed as an OG? The Goalkeeper had a touch for sure but it wasn't like he pushed it towards his own goal.

I see Liverpool as the Champions League winner already because they have players or the team that are the players thar has proven to the world that they really want that the trophy and Also Manchester city too. But real Madrid are also in line to compete for the Champions League Title. The Champions League Trophy is now the survival of the first.

The government wants centralization for its financial system and so far almost all countries in the world have their own currency. It's not easy to expect the world to adopt a single currency, so it should be a dream that won't come true.

It's already regulated by the goal system and rules, so we don't need to argue for that because the result of the match is more important than debating the status of how the goal was scored. So it's not a problem.

Maybe the Manchester City - Real Madrid game was far better than today's game but I still enjoyed both of the semi final games. The Manchester City - Real Madrid game was like the best one of the recent years I believe. Nearly nobody was expecting to see a final score like 4-3 at the end. Most people might have believed that Manchester City would get a very comfortable win too after they brought the score to 2-0 in the first eleven minutes. But Real Madrid started playing very good offensively too and we had a great game there.

Too obvious a match and too obvious a score. I originally assumed that Liverpool would be able to beat Valencia without too much effort, which is exactly what happened, it was much more interesting to watch yesterday's match between Real and Manchester City... Liverpool only had to score one to make the Spaniards lose their guard and concede the second goal straight away. That should have been the end of the match.

It was a simple game for the myserside club even though they find it hard to score on the first half, Villarreal seat deep too much and that's what causes the first goal, I think Liverpool would have scored more but they were going easy, watching the game you felt angry Inside seeeing villareal and not Bayern Munich, because the game was not interesting like yesterday own between Manchester City and Real Madrid.it was one sided, villareal don't seems to me as a good side.

Villarreal did a really good job in the first half by keeping Liverpool at 0-0. But the second half was different of course. It wasn't hard to predict that Liverpool would start to play much more effective. Villarreal still tried to keep the same game plan in this half too but it didn't help them too much. Liverpool scored in the 53th and 55th minutes consecutively and got 2-0 ahead suddenly. Villarreal needed to take risks after this score I thought. But they still didn't take the risks they needed and they barely were able to keep the score at 2-0 until the end. But I already believe that Liverpool are in the finale now.

Its Full Time and its Liverpool 2-0 Villareal.
A beautiful hard fought win at home for liverpool against the resolute and defensive side Villareal. Now Liverpool can head to the second leg tie with great confidence and yes a 2 goal cushion lead to protect. One leg in the finals of the Champions League. Will Liverpool get the spot ?

The result was predictable from the start and indeed with this result, Liverpool certainly now has the upper hand to advance to the final.
The second leg will mean nothing to them now because it is certain that Villarreal will still be very difficult even if they force open play.
Now it's just a matter of whether Madrid or City are more deserving of them

I knew from onset that Villarreal won't pose any threat to Liverpool at Anfield their familiar home ground where many teams can't escape defeat. Liverpool is already one leg to the UCL 2022 final, a remarkable achievement by the team chasing a quadruple trophies, they are a team to beat and currently one of the best in Europe, they had already won Carabao's Cup, they also set their eye on EPL trophy subject to any flop by Man City, they will play Chelsea next month in FA cup final and all is now set for UCL final respectively.

I think it was Liverpool that reached the final tonight. Liverpool played very well and won easily.
Villarreal played full defense but failed. They achieved great success by reaching the semi-finals.

I don't see any hope for Villarreal if they play like this game. Indeed this is a strategy for them to be able to draw in the first leg in my opinion, but Liverpool's attack that did not stop from the start of the match made it difficult for them even by playing total defense. These 2 goals will make it difficult for them to be in the second leg. And I think Liverpool already have a ticket to the final.

With 2 goals down, i think Villareal are already in Liverpool trap. All liverpool has to do in the second leg is to keep shape and control the game composure because Villareal has to score (they will attack alot) and Liverpool will get many chance to pounce and cause more damage. I see Liverpool in the finals already

Agree. 2 goals in the first Leg makes too difficult for Villareal to come back from the lose in Leg 2. I also think Liverpool is already qualified for the UCL Final this season. Moreover, if we look at the stats, Liverpool is too superior against Villareal. We only see 1 shot attempt made by Villareal during the match, while Liverpool made 19 shot attempts. If Villareal used the same strategy in the next Leg, surely there is no hope for Villareal to eliminate Liverpool.

Villarreal applied the same strategy against Munich. trying to get a goal on the counterattack or get a draw.
unfortunately, Liverpool made a stronger attack. Villarreal's defense was no longer focused and lost 2 goals in the second half after successfully defending in the first half.
capital that is quite convincing to face Villarreal in the 2nd leg. Liverpool is still safe to get a ticket to the final. compared to Man City and Madrid who had to fight hard in the 2nd leg.
if Man City can draw with Madrid, it will be a two-team final of the English Premier League.

The consequence of pressing high in defense is that defenders make mistakes that lead to goals. In this match the first goal was a one of a kind defensive error which put Liverpool 1 goal ahead, but only a few minutes later the second goal was scored again which put Liverpool 2 goals ahead.

The second leg is a very tough homework for Villareal even though the 2 goal deficit is not the highest. I don't think they can win the second leg even playing at home, so Liverpool will still be ahead with their quality in Spain even if Villareal can score at home.

Ready or not, Villarreal must face Liverpool in the second leg. The results of the first leg have already determined who will make it to the final between the two, but according to the rules they have to fight one more leg in order to become a finalist team. I think luck is hard come by for Villarreal in the second leg, because Liverpool's quality is much stronger than Villarreal. The pressure in the second leg is on Villarreal side, even though they are playing at home it will be difficult to find 3 goals from Liverpool.

Liverpool success got good capital on first leg after winning 2-0 from Villareal, faced difficulty on first half where most defensive Villareal defender and they adopt defensive games play, but second leg Jordan Henderson give different thing for Liverpool after his crossing success make Villareal goalkeeper make own goal. Last one goal scored by Mane make Liverpool one step on final stage of Champion League, they will away to Villareal next week for second leg and keep try draw or losing under 2 goals give time for Liverpool back to final again.

We'll see how the difference in strength of these two teams and this becomes a reality in this match. We all know that Liverpool are the favourites. And they proved it not only with goals but also with dominance of the game. Villarreal was not given the slightest chance to at least harm them, it was recorded that Villarreal was only able to release one shot and that too missed the goal.

I noticed that liverpool had a hard time breaking through the villarreal defense, even if there was no own goal from estupinan, the final score would be 1-0.
Villareal's 'shot on goal' is 0 and it reminds me of Atletico Madrid against Man City ^{(a few weeks ago)} lol.

Liverpool winning that game was expected and 2 goals advantage is a good thing to play comfortably without much pressure at the opposite of Villarreal.
Liverpool playing the final game is almost sure. Their rival will be whether City, most likely, or Real Madrid. Well both teams are good and the final match will be unpredictable. For the moment, Liverpool seems to be the fittest team and the dangerous one. Personally I prefer to see City lifting the title.

There is no doubt today Liverpool done good job against very good Villarreal because there were few things that after beating Bayern Munich now they are in good touch and can give very tough time to Liverpool, but they play good and having 2 - 0 lead is good for them with now next match is at Villarreal home, so they can manage in good way.

With first semifinal now after result of 4 - 3 I am feeling here Real Madrid is having good edge because they can hold Manchester City at home, and we can watch Grand Finale between two very aggressive and darling teams of Champions League but still it's all just prediction because we have to wait for final result until second round of semi final between these two teams.

Villarreal's plan was to draw the match goalless with full defensive tactics. But Villarreal's defense could not stand in front of Liverpool's experienced players. Although Villarreal's players put up a good fight against Liverpool in the first half, Mane's goal in the 55th minute gave Liverpool the lead. However, as Liverpool lead 2-0. It is easy to assume that Liverpool is going to win this match. Even after conceding two goals, Villarreal is still playing defensive tactics.

After yesterdays great and exciting match between ManCity and Real Madrid we saw a very one sided and pretty boring match today to be honest, but i also think that this had to be expected. Villareal did a great job defending all of Liverpool attacks and in the end it needed an extremely lucky goal for Liverpool to score the 1-0 lead. Henderson wasn't even shooting at the goal but his cross was so massively deflected that it went directly into the goal. That was extremely unlucky for Villareal and it definitely broke their back to day, especially when Mane scored the second goal for Liverpool only a few minutes after that. Now it is 95% certain for me that Liverpool will be in the final this year.

To me, I think Villarreal expectations was cut off, we all saw the way they played today their hope was to win or secure a draw in the match. But it never happened as they expected, though they defended very well in the early first half of the game, but after the break Liverpool came back with a different pattern of play. A deflected Cross from Henderson gave them the lead and that open more way for Liverpool to score the second goal. looking at the game tonight Villarreal made alot of mistakes, though they defended so well but they lose the ball easily and their midfield was empty. I think Villarreal needs to come up with a better pattern in the second leg.
