30 Minutes are running now but I saw a pretty good game, Villarreal are doing something quite tactical now and I like the strategy they are implementing at the moment.
They knew they wouldn't be able to win by playing open so they kept defending and kept defending but it's quite effective now because I saw throughout this game Liverpool couldn't create any good chances until this minute

Such a strategy in my opinion is very boring, especially in a big game like the Champions League semifinals. That's why a team like Villareal don't always deserve to be in the Champions League because I think they just rely on luck in scoring goals from set pieces and counter-attacks.

Villareal had a good defense, but they didn't attack as expected. It was so boring that I didn't think they deserved to be in the final. Take a look at their stats so far, you'll know what I mean. The first half is almost over, the score is still 0-0.

Although Liverpool's chances of winning the first leg match are better than Villareal but as a team that made it to the semifinals then I don't think Villareal can be underestimated today. The first 25 minutes of the game have not produced a goal which means Liverpool's task to beat Villareal is certainly not as easy as imagined.

Villareal have not come to win everything this season but they are just trying their best even if they are underdogs. I know they will lose to Liverpool but no one will say they are a weak team after Bayern Munich failed to beat them.

Liverpool vs Villareal, will it end with hope like my bet on Man City yesterday. Because Villareal would basically be unpredictable which made me take the bet for Liverpool. Maybe this will be a slightly dubious bet because Villareal's performance so far in the Champions League is truly unpredictable. I wish Liverpool all the best and don't waste this opportunity to take a safe position early.

Villareal is the biggest surprise in Champions League and they have nothing to lose after all. Furthermore, with all surprise they made so far, nobody can under estimate Villareal. They can make another surprise in semi final against Liverpool because we know Champions League especially in knock out rounds, contains space and chance for surprise.

In history, we see some small clubs participate in final matches like Porto, Monaco and more. It does not usually happen but sometimes we can witness it. Liverpool have enough strength and experience there to beat Villareal but it only works if they will play with their best and won't make mistakes which might be taken by Villareal.

Right now Liverpool are the perfect team, the Reds are the favorites and are strong candidates to go further in this tournament, they have a complete squad. Then Liverpool also carries the ambition to win the Quadruple this season, one of which is the target of winning the Champions League. But despite being seeded, Jurgen Klopp really appreciates Unai Emery.

Its easy to predict Liverpool to qualify but football has taught me not to pick favorites. I just enjoy the game with a open mind. Villarreal did against Juventus and Bayern Munich. This should be lesson and something to learn that this Villarreal side who are supposedly the underdog in the competition are effortlessly eliminating the favorites.

The match has started and as usual Liverpool seemed to dominate this match from Villareal who tried to defend and focus on the counter-attack. Liverpool's victory seems very likely, but surely Villareal will try their best for a chance of a ticket to the final this season. I've said 3-1 is a possible result for this match but we'll see if my prediction is right or not.

Well, for sure we didn't see a furios start like in yesterday's game. I hope we'll see any goal soon, this will make it more interesting

Liverpool is clearly dominating now, if it goes on like in the first 20 minutes, then we'll see a 2-0 or 3-1 or something in that range. But who knows, Villareal might be lucky and continue to defend nicely.

Liverpool control almost half of the field at the moment, although Liverpool continue to dominate but they are difficult to score goals, Villareal solid defense has made a lot of Liverpool chances wasted, I think what you predict is a bit off the mark because almost entering the 30th minute Liverpool have not created a single goal, and I think the tight defense built by the Villareal defense will force Liverpool to draw 0-0 until the first half ends later.

Luiz Diaz is more active in assisting the attack to supply Moh Salah and Mane to make changes immediately. Everyone is still working on the Villareal backline, Liverpool just needs accurate execution because it is clear for them to dominate. Just waiting for the goal, I'm sure in the first half of the rhythm of the game is like this Villareal defense will be broken. Almost all of Villareal players guarded the defense so that when on the counter-attack no one greeted the ball.

Real madrid, who had fallen behind by two quick goals in the first half, was able to provide an extraordinary resistance against manchester city, I think if other teams were in the position of real madrid yesterday of course they would be down to see the ferocity of manchester city from the start of the match, but real madrid who having a winning mentality managed to rise and even reduce the score to 4-3 at the end of the match, even though now Manchester City managed to win but a margin of 1 goal of course does not make their position safe, especially in the second leg Madrid will play at the Bernabeu and this season we have look at how great madrid is at home and maybe even they will make an extraordinary comeback like against PSG in the quarter-finals some time ago.

Maybe I was late, but Madrid performed amazingly. Madrid dare to appear open when playing at the Etihad. The result makes me a little bit more convinced they have a greater chance of getting to the final. 3 goals is enough to make them have an away goal. Proven Benzema to be the main actor of Madrid, he is very good at determining position and execution. I hope that Madrid in the second leg can perform with their best players.

Villarreal was really no match for the likes of Bayern Munich on paper, so it's underrating when fans didn't give them chance against Bayern. It is just normal for everyone to see or predict Bayern will qualify ahead of them. Same can be said about this tie against Liverpool, Villarreal are no where in the top four in the La Liga but Liverpool on the other hand are gunning for the EPL title. Although Villarreal seems like a different team in the champion's league but Liverpool is extremely a better and stronger side, even better than Bayern who Villarreal previously knocked out.

People are starting to get excited in the next few minutes. In half an hour we will watch Liverpool's 1st Leg match against Villareal. There have been many who have favored their respective choices. So I think it will be interesting, although yesterday's match Manchester City vs Real Madrid finished quite dramatically. This match will also be more fun where Villarreal will appear aggressive. Honestly, I expected Liverpool to win by a high score.

Seeing the performance of both of them playing quite well so far, Liverpool also seems to be trying to press to find a defensive weak point from Villareal. as predicted by most people Villareal is aggressive. Playing at home to Liverpool does make a bit of an advantage. So far some of the kicks launched by Liverpool can still be broken. Villareal must penetrate to get out of the pressure which is not easy, Liverpool really wants to target the first-half score.

Villarreal is a team that is not predicted by all people to advance to the semifinals because their current ranking in La Liga is only in 7th. but it looks like their move will be stopped by Liverpool, playing at home will make Liverpool appear very hard to satisfy their supporters. my prediction is 3-0 for Liverpool to win and moh salah, I guess will contribute 1 goal.

I don't want to speculate too much because I'm currently watching the match for both of them, although I'm also more confident that Liverpool will win this match.
But before it's all over, let's watch the game first and see who will have the upper hand today because the Champions League trophy is a trophy that all clubs want.

Villarreal vs Liverpool have to battle hard to take home the winning in this match, I am sure Liverpool is in a better position to win the game but there will face strong resistance from Villarreal. This match will make a big determinant factor in the club's position in the championship.

I was supporting Real Madrid against Manchester City to get at least a draw last night. But they were able to make do with a loss by one goal at the end. But their performance was still great against this much dominant Manchester City. I wasn't expecting such game first of all. We watched seven goals and each one of them was delightful to watch too. Manchester City got ahead by two goals three times in the game but Real Madrid dropped the goal difference to one every time. It must be really frustrating for Guardiola and I wonder how the second leg will be.

Manchester City failed to hold on to their goal lead by more than Real Madrid last night, but that doesn't mean they're playing badly. I have to say that Real Madrid was certainly lucky with Benzema's penalty (3rd Madrid goal) because after that there were no more goals during the match.

I am still very optimistic that Manchester City will be able to beat Real Madrid in the second leg even though they are only 1 goal ahead in the first leg. Manchester City just need to end the second leg with a draw and I don't think they will repeat the other two failures (PSG and Chelsea) that failed to qualify for Real Madrid. So Manchester City to the final is my hope so far.

Yes I also hope Manchester City can survive until the final round, with an extraordinary team spirit I am also very optimistic about Manchester City's success. I also don't take it for granted that the match between Manchester City vs Madrid, both played very well. At the time of Benzema's penalty which was able to make it 4-3, Real Madrid's chances of qualifying were still very open. And both teams were able to give their all, they players don't lose their heads when things get really tough. And the two will also still meet in the second leg of the Champions League semifinals

I don't think Liverpool will win by too many goals today. Even in today's match we may not see too many goals. Because this is Villarreal's away match. They will play completely defensive in this match. As they played against Bayern Munich. I would say that today 10 players of Villarreal will become defenders. Looking forward to watching a boring match.

If they (Villarreal) can edge over Bayern Munich, then they should not be under rated in tonight's match.
They should be defending tonight looking at how many games Liverpool has won at home if they can be very compact and hold Liverpool down and take good use if the chances they will get that I know they won't get too much I'm this match. But if they defend very well and score same can be repeated with what they did against Bayern Munich.

I don't know how Liverpool will play Villarreal tonight,

They will surely need to play their best, it is the champions League, it will be very unwise for any coach in the stage of this competition to underestimate any team. Liverpool will have the home advantage and will need to make full use of it and score enough goals so their visit to Villarreal for the other leg will be easy. Villarreal on the other hand i believe will try to defend well today not to concede any or too many goals, they may try to counter attack quickly and if they should get a goal before Liverpool, it will be a difficult game for klopp and his boys. It's almost kick off!

May the best team win.

I seriously underrated Villarreal in the previous stage of the Champions League when they played Bayern Munich. I wrote them off when the draw was announced. They managed to win Bayern in the first leg and yet I wasn't impressed. I was still underrating them that Bayern will make a big come back against them.
I was surprised that Bayern did nothing in the end.
And it is Liverpool turn tonight and I know that Liverpool will do better. The Villarreal guys has a very strong defence and that is a very big advantage for them.

Like you, I did wrote them off too and even with the defeat of Bayern Munich in a game that ended Villarreal 2:1 Bayern Munich, Isti worth them off looking at the spry of team that Bayern Munich is and it was Bayern to play form a home side but still, Villarreal came out stronga nd didn't ho defensive on Bayern Munich, coordinated there team and gave them a game to remember, eventually evicting Bayern Munich. A shocking one actually but well deserved for sure.

Now, I guess I might be making the same mistake and I hope they prove it to me because, I'm writing them off on this one and my prediction is so in favour of Liverpool. Its hard to see Villarreal past Klopp as, Liverpool seems to be very much in form and would be putting everything in this game to get full advantage of the first leg. I would be watching out for what Villarreal would do to repel the Liverpool pressure as, Real Madrid did almost nothing to that of Manchester City yesterday and that was there mistake.

I dont know what to spect this night, because Liverpool its clearly superior but, Nayerns was in the papers superior to Villarreal and we see how that ends.
In other hand Villarreal its really good and fast making counterattacks so maybe the Liverpool have to take care of this plays.

it is certain that two teams will put all their energy into being able to win the first leg of the champions league, so that they can see the second leg easily, I am also very optimistic that liferpol will be able to break into the villareal goal, the front line of liferpol must be filled by moh wrong, Sadio Mane and luis Diaz, Klopp's back line will play Vandjik, Arnold, Robertson and Ibrahim Konate, in the midfield it will most likely be filled by Thiago, Henderson and Naby Keita, I can't wait to watch the match,
My prediction is that Liferpol will win with a 3-1 suspension.
