Villarreal have named their starting XI for Tuesday’s Champions League semi-final second leg against Liverpool, with Samuel Chukwueze named as a substitute.
Villarreal will hope their home crowd can boost them with plenty to do against Liverpool
Villarreal host an in-form Liverpool in the second leg of the Champions League semi-final tonight.
The legend of Liverpool has been built on glorious comebacks against foreign opposition. The list, the very long list, includes Club Brugge in 1976, Saint-Étienne in 1977, Milan in 2005, Hicks and Gillett in 2010 and Barcelona in 2019. So even though most of us think Liverpool have nine toes in the Big Cup final, they’ll be taking the square root of bugger all for granted in Villarreal. Liverpool lead 2-0 from the first leg, in which their sadistic heavy metal football came within an overzealous semitone of causing collective tinnitus among the Villarreal squad.
