We simulated Villarreal vs Liverpool as defender scores stunning goal

Liverpool are 90 minutes away from securing their place in their third Champions League final in the last five seasons, as they take on Villarreal on Tuesday.

The Reds hold a 2-0 aggregate lead going into the second leg of the semi-final in Valencia, following Pervis Estupinan's own goal and Sadio Mane's strike early in the second half. Jurgen Klopp is likely to recall Trent Alexander-Arnold, Mohamed Salah and Thiago to the starting eleven on Tuesday, with the trio being rested against Newcastle on Saturday.

Ibrahima Konate is also likely to replace Joel Matip in defence, with one of Jordan Henderson and Naby Keita set to join Fabinho and Thiago in midfield. So, what line-ups will both teams select and what could the final score be?

Fabinho let fly with a shot from just outside the area, which was palmed away by Rulli, but Mane was alive to the rebound and tucked it home
