Villarreal seek perfection to beat near flawless Liverpool in Champions League semis
Villarreal aim to rekindle the spirit that saw off Juventus and Bayern Munich when they bid to overturn a 2-0 deficit in their Champions League semi-final second leg against Liverpool on Tuesday. A 2-1 LaLiga loss to lowly Alaves was not ideal preparation and coach Unai Emery knows how hard it will be to beat Liverpool, who have only lost three matches this season in all competitions and none by more than two goals. "We will need a perfect game to achieve what no other team in Europe accomplished against Liverpool this season," Emery told a news conference on Monday.

ALAVÉS 2-VILLARREAL 1 | Bombona de oxígeno para el Alavés
Botella de oxígeno para un Alavés que acabó pidiendo la hora porque le iba la vida en ello. En líneas generales, hizo un partido muy serio pero también le acompañó la fortuna porque el Villarreal tuvo el punto de mira desviado. Chukwueze hizo un partidazo pero no fue suficiente. Y eso que Pacheco tuvo un error grosero en el 2-1 que metió a los castellonenses en el choque. Luego se encargaría de purgar su culpa.
