Villarreal may have made Liverpool sweat more than expected, but the Reds took care of business anyway.

Watch highlights as soon as they happen with The Highlights App.
The first 45 minutes were quite complicated for the hosts, who were unable to break the deadlock as the visitors had successfuly held on to the goalless scoresheet. However, Liverpool came back stronger after half time and quickly put themselves in front through an own goal by Pervis Estupiñan, who deflected Jordan Henderson's cross. Sadio Mane extended the lead a few minutes later by finishing off a great collective play.

The Reds coached by Jurgen Klopp are the big favorites to take the win at home, but they shouldn't underestimate their rivals. Liverpool, who eliminated Benfica to advance to the 2021-2022 UEFA Champions League Semifinals, accumulate 10 games without defeats, including victories against Manchester City (FA Cup semis), Manchester United and bitter-rivals Everton in their last three.
On the other hand, Villarreal will be looking to cause a surprise once again as they did against Bayern in the UCL quarterfinals. Unai Emery's side upset the German giants to reach the Champions League Semifinals for the second time in the club's history.
