Liverpool: Sadio Mane interrupted Luis Diaz's interview to show him some love

Liverpool took a huge step towards qualifying for the semi-finals of the 2021/22 Champions League on Tuesday evening.

Jurgen Klopp’s side travelled to Benfica for the first leg of their quarter-final tie and came away with a resounding 3-1 win.

Goals from Ibrahima Konate and Sadio Mane in the first half put Liverpool in the driving seat, before Darwin Nunez halved the deficit shortly after the restart.

But Luis Diaz was on hand to restore the Reds’ two-goal advantage in the final five minutes of the match with a well-taken goal.

The Colombian international has now scored three times for Liverpool since signing from FC Porto in January and the transfer already looks like a masterstroke.

That one would have felt good for Luis Diaz!
