LIVERPOOL, England: Liverpool set up a Champions League semi-final with Spain's Villarreal after Roberto Firmino scored twice in a 3-3 second leg draw with Benfica on Wednesday to ensure a 6-4 aggregate win over the Portuguese team.
Tensions boiled over in the closing stages and Atletico defender Felipe was sent off after receiving a second yellow card before the teams played out 12 minutes of added time.
Liverpool’s European nights at Anfield are always emotional. But when they coincide with the anniversary of the Hillsborough disaster, they gain extra significance – and that was the case for the Reds’ Champions League quarter-final second leg against Benfica on Wednesday.
El Liverpool encara la recta final de una temporada tan ilusionante como difícil. El empate por 3-3 ante el Benfica deja a los de Klopp en semifinales, donde se enfrentarán a un valeroso Villarreal al que no debería subestimar como parece que hicieron con los lisboetas en algunos tramos de los cuartos de final. Ni el doblete de Firmino calmó el espíritu combativo de los visitantes, que fueron liderados por el talento de Darwin Núñez.
Roberto Firmino scored twice as Liverpool progressed to the semi-final after a 3-3 draw with Benfica at Anfield. Liverpool, whose 3-1 advantage from the first leg in Lisbon meant Jurgen Klopp rested a whole host of first team players, took the lead after 21 minutes when Ibrahima Konate rose and seemed to hang in the air to meet Konstantinos Tsimikas' corner and steer inside the far post.
Liverpool paid a moving tribute to the 97 fans who lost their lives at Hillsborough with a minute's silence to mark the upcoming 33rd anniversary of the tragedy prior to kick-off in their Champions League quarter-final meeting with Benfica on Wednesday.
Liverpool is into the Champions League semi-finals for the first time since being crowned Europe's best club in 2019.
