    FT: Villarreal (10) 2-3 Liverpool (agg 2-5)!! All over in Villarreal and Liverpool make it to the final in a game of two halves! Dia and Coquelin made it 2-0 to the hosts to level the tie, but it was a diffferent Liverpool in the second half. Diaz came on and he, Fabinho and Mane all scored with the help of three calamitous errors by the GK. Capoue saw red late on. Thanks for joining us and see you again soon!

    Villarreal triple sub: Aurier, Alcacer and Trigueros on for Albiol and Dia.
  • 78'
    Rulli has been absolutely dreadful in this second half. He's made three howlers which have all led to goals. This third one wouldn't even happen at schoolboy level. He's not even close to being CL standard. Flashbacks to Karius in the 2018 final.
  • 77'
    Parejo goes for goal, but can't find the target.
  • 76'
    TAA is booked for a foul here on Pedraza.

Goaaaaaal!

  • 67'
    Luis Diaz makes it 2-2!!! Villarreal want offside, but it stands for now. TAA puts the ball into the box, Diaz heads and Rulli doesn't cover himself in glory again. It wasn't offside.

    HT: Villarreal 2-0 Liverpool!!! (agg 2-2) Half-time in Villarreal and we can't believe what we are witnessing. Dia gave Villarreal a 3rd minute lead as Villarreal dominated proceedings. Then, in the 41st minute, shortly after Villarreal were denied a penalty, Coquelin made it 2-0. Liverpool have been outplayed and need to wake up or they will be out!!

  • 39'
    The VAR says no penalty and that's controversial. I think that was a pen...
  • 37'
    Lo Celso is down in the box, but the ref says no!!! Moreno passes the ball to Lo Celso and Alisson goes through Lo Celso to get the ball. It's a clear pen and yellow card to Alisson for me.
  • 35'
    Capoue seems to have pulled a muscle here.
  • 31'

  • 28'
