UEFA Champions League – Villarreal vs Liverpool - Preview, Predicted Teams, Live Streaming Information, How to Watch Online

Liverpool take a 2-0 lead into the semi-final second leg at the Estadio de la Ceramica as they look to book their spot in the 2021/22 Champions League final.

Unai Emery's Villarreal put in a resolute defensive display in the first-half, but a Pervis Estupian own goal followed up by Sadio Mane just two-minutes later sees Liverpool enter the clash as strong favourites to progress.

History is certainly not in Villarreal's favour heading into the decisive second leg, as only one team has managed to turn around a two-goal semi-final deficit in Champions League history. Who you might ask? Liverpool, of course - who ran out eventual 4-3 aggregate winners over Barcelona on their path to the 2018/19 title. 

The Yellow Submarine's first leg defeat was followed up by a disappointing 2-1 La Liga defeat to 19th placed Alaves, albeit with a much-altered starting XI.

Unai Emery's men will be boosted however by their 12-game unbeaten run at home. In fact, Villarreal have not tasted defeat on home soil since way back in November.
