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 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.

Congratulations to Liverpool and their fans in this winning at the beginning of the match and all through first 45 minutes it looks as if Liverpool will lose the match as Villarreal was really playing a more preferably skilled game and Liverpool was just playing around but still the second half brought in the difference.

Liverpool was up to the task of putting out Villarreal's hopes of qualifying by beating them convincingly at anfield with a 2goal advantage, and I don't see the Reds failing to progress to the next stage as they will get the job done in Spain,by finishing what they started to book their spot in the finals. Btw from the looks of things this might turn out to be an EPL affair in the finals with City and Liverpool looking more likely to meet.

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.

After all, a great match in this season's Champions League final we can expect between Liverpool and Madrid or Manchester City. I hope City get to the final so the world knows that England's dominance in the Champions League is much better.

The great thing in the Champions League this season is that the two strongest candidates for the Premier League will still be fighting for a ticket to the final even though they have won the first leg of their opponent. So now we're just going to focus on the Premier League again for the title race.

A clean easy job from Liverpool which I already predict as a finalist.I know that Villareal has made some great turnarounds regarding the result in their return leg when playing at home but that has been against teams of a much weaker level than Liverpool.Liverpool completely dominated this game from every possible aspect and for me only that 68% ball possession says it all about this game.Liverpool is fighting also to win the title in the Premier League but I don't think that will be a problem for them in the Champions League,they just have to see every game as a final.

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.

Despite the massive defense of Villarreal, Liverpool still managed to get a comfortable advantage before the return game (after the first half, when Liverpool were practically not allowed to shoot from inside the penalty area, I began to doubt it). Now the return game could be almost a cakewalk for Liverpool as Villarreal will be forced to open up and in such a game Liverpool's advantage will be even greater.

Thankfully, even though Liverpool were only able to win the first leg by 2 goals, the fans had to be satisfied with today's result. Villareal are good defensively and they will definitely want to repeat their success beating Bayern Munich like the quarter-finals but unfortunately Liverpool are a different team.

As a fan, I am very happy with this win because we are getting closer to the final. But of course Liverpool must ensure this victory is safe in the second leg because Villareal will play at home. Although I'm not worried, Liverpool must not underestimate Villarreal in the second leg.

... Liverpool is extremely a better and stronger side, even better than Bayern who Villarreal previously knocked out.

Not sure about that. Bayern were always favourites for this tournament, Liverpool were a distant 3rd or 4th, but you're right, I'd fancied our chances against them had they progressed past Villareal -- I usually feel we're better against attacking opponents than defensive ones, even if recent results and signings suggest we've found a way to break teams down (as Everton most recently showed) without the old nerves we used to get in seasons past. And, as tonight showed, the same patience paid off eventually, soon after the restart. 2 goals, 2 offside goals, VVD trying from range. It is on!

Currently, Liverpool means business after bore first half now they are screwing grip against Villarreal and have 2 goals lead very quickly which ends resistance form visitors and now after having 2 goals ruled out due to offside mean they can feel better but still it's not easy for any team to stay against Liverpool currently most lethal team in Europe.

In second half they are not allowing Villarreal for having any solid attack against Liverpool which is showing strength of Liverpool but still I am expecting one more goal which will settle Liverpool's place into final of this season against winner of other semifinal. Now Jota is on crease, so hopefully he will give some good doze of his goal to these fans which are already celebrating this win in ground and around the globe.

As a result, Villareal defense, which continues to be pounded, creates a gap for 2 goals for Liverpool. It's difficult to defend in almost 90 minutes Villarreal is not given any chance at all. Liverpool clearly outperformed every minute. I salute that even though Villareal is 2 goals down they still show resistance.

The difference between EPL Liverpool and a Bundesliga Bayern Munich. Fortunately for Villarreal, they were able to hold up and sustain the pressure from Liverpool in the first half but, the case is different now in the second half with Pervis Estupinan to have scored an own goal and in no time, Sadio Mane scored a second to bring the game to a Liverpool 2:0 Villarreal.

So far, its been an all Liverpool game with Villarreal being more defensive and that's so much not the bestbway to go about a fixture with a scoring side like Liverpool. That's not how they @Villarreal sustained with Bayern Munich and in the same way, its not how Real Madrid measured up with Manchester City yesterday. Villarreal have still got some time on the clock but o doubt they would be getting anything out of this game.

I don't really like to compare Liverpool with Bayern at the moment but if we look at Villarreal's defense it is quite good but there are some sayings when a drop of water drips on a stone if only once maybe it will not have any impact but if it is done continuously the longer the stone will fall. in drops it will be more impactful and even destroyed.
Now that this is happening, no matter how strong Villarreal's defense is at the moment when they are under constant pressure of course they will be difficult to contain and the disaster started with their own goal in the 58th minute.

Liverpool two goals to The good, I Think We may still have another goal, Liverpool has been very solid recently, a big force to handle and to score, right now in the world it seems to be Manchester city that comes close in terms of giving them any form of scare, Villarreal has had a good run in the Uefa champions league so they need to be proud of themselves and what they have done, and I believe it’s part of the reason Liverpool are even extra careful today. This means Liverpool has one foot in the finals of the Uefa champions league.

Liverpool is so much better than Villarreal for sure and honestly this is kinda like the warm up before the final game against either City or Madrid. 80th minutes right now, Villarreal only has 1 goal attempt so far and Liverpool has 19 lol. I have always say this recently but Im gonna repeat it again, Liverpool is a different beast when they play in Anfield.

They are great this season and so much better when it is on Anfield

No matter how good Villareal's defense was, in the end they made a mistake that put Liverpool 2 goals ahead in a very short time. Villareal's own goal had ignited Liverpool's enthusiasm to score the second goal just 3 minutes from the first goal. Obviously this was the result I expected but there should have been a few more goals before the match ended.
Villareal wanted to force us to a draw by strengthening their defence, but unfortunately that failed. I'm happy with the current result, but I would be much happier if Liverpool ended the match with 4 goals.

Wow, I can't believe I'm seeing two goals under five minutes. This is fantastic and unbelievable to see the long awaited beautiful of the match coming out immediately the second half begins. Liverpool have shown that they have everything it takes to get the ball in the post. How I wish I added this match to my predictions, I will have been in win by now. The match just began, many more fun coming from both team.

Villarreal is making efforts to come out and fight their chances to have a shot so that they can equalize match.
