Villarreal and Liverpool will face offat the Estadio de la Ceramicain Game 2 of the2021-2022 UEFA Champions Leaguesemifinals. Here you will find the lineups of both teams for this game. It will be broadcast in the United States on FuboTV (free trial) and Paramount + (free trial), and on DAZN in Canada.

Liverpool complied with logic and beat Villarreal 2-0 at home in Game 1, a result that really fell short as the ā€œRedsā€ could have scored a lot more goals, especially in the second half. Now they will go in search of ensuring their place in the final, although obviously trying not to be overconfident.

In the case of Villarreal, they know that it will be really difficult, but also that the 2-0 gives them some hope, especially after a game in which they could perfectly have conceded many more goals. The counterattack tactic, which has given them such good results so far, might not work considering they need 2 goals to level the series, so it will be interesting to see what Coach Emery will prepare.
