Liverpool come from getting a 3-1 as visitors that practically (if we take into account the enormous difference in level) assures them their passage to the semifinals. However, they should not be overconfident, since in the first minutes of the second half the Portuguese showed a high level of play that complicated them at times, and there is still the memory of what happened in the round of 16 when the series seemed close. against Inter after the “Reds” won 2-0, and yet the Italians won 1-0 in England, coming very close to leveling the series.
In the case of Benfica, they know that they will have to go to Anfield in search of practically a miracle. Diaz‘s goal near the end of the game was a very hard blow for the Portuguese, already with the 1-2 there was the hope of scoring a goal and playing against, something that with the need of 2 goals is impossible to do.
