Xtra Time Web Desk : Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool on Tuesday earned an inspirational 3-2 (Agg 5-2) victory, coming back from 2-0 against underdogs Villarreal 3-2 on the night in the 2nd leg of the UEFA Champions League semi finals.

The match started in the most perfect way for the Yellow submarines as they took the lead through Boulaye Dia in the first minute itself to half the 2-0 deficit from the first leg at the Anfield.

Unai Emery’s side after that perfect start were on a roll in the near perfect first half, as they created chances after chances and kept on missing them against a fragile looking Liverpool defense, before taking a 2-0 lead on the night to equal the aggregate score 2-2 at the half time.

The Reds however after the first half went all guns blazing at the home team and made some crucial substitutions which ultimately became successful when Liverpool equalised on the night by scoring two successive goals on the 62nd and 67th minute by Fabinho and substitute Luis Diaz respectively, before taking the decisive lead through Sadio Mane on the 74th minute.

Liverpool, with this win have now advanced into the final of the UEFA Champions League 2022 and would be eying for their 7th European title against the winners of Real Madrid vs Manchester City.
