The Spanish outfit only need a draw in England to move on to the final and they hope that they can contain Liverpool for 90 minutes as they try to finish the job.

On the other hand, the Reds may be facing a deficit at the moment, but it is definitely not insurmountable.

An early goal puts them back on even terms, and playing at home surely is a big advantage for the surging Reds.

Many now consider them as the favourites to win the competition, but in order to do so they must overcome the hungry Spanish club who are also searching to put their names in the history books.

In the first leg, the battle was relatively even as both teams shared almost equal time with possession.

Holding the ball for 52% of the time, Liverpool were only able to take out four shots – with one on target.

They were called for offside four times and took three corners on the night.

On the other hand, Villarreal played well despite not at home – taking seven total shots and three on target.

They dominated the corners as they took seven, and it was a goal by Adrian on the second minute of injury time that sealed their victory.

Both teams looked settled to take this tie at 0-0 after a furious pace throughout 90 minutes, but Villarreal finally broke the Liverpool defence in injury time and are hoping that is enough to see them through the next round.
