The plot of the first half of the match between Liverpool and Villarreal was based on speculation that Liverpool's 12-foot shot did not break through Villarreal's goal, including Thiago's quasi-world wave.
Villarreal's defensive tactics have also become more mature and solid after the baptism of Juventus and Bayern.
But victory was a reward for the initiative, and Liverpool's attack finally paid off at the start of the second half, either way, Liverpool finally scored in the 53rd minute of the game, and Henderson's cross was refracted and then scored into the net.
Villarreal seemed a bit distracted at this point, and salah assisted Mane in the next 55 minutes.
Liverpool blitzed Villarreal, only the time came in the second half.
As the game went on, Liverpool, who were playing in the third tier, began to preserve their strength, replacing goal heroes Henderson and Mane in the 72nd minute.
Villarreal, on the other hand, also underwent a personnel change. They tried to press out and play, as if they wanted an away goal.
After all, returning home with this score, the chances of a reversal are almost zero.
The final 20 minutes of the game were uneventful, with neither team creating another scoring chance.
In the end, Liverpool beat Villarreal without bloodshed, the 2-0 score made them one foot into the Champions League final, looking at the game statistics (2 poles, 2 goals were judged invalid) Liverpool matched the victory of this game.
More importantly, in this game, Liverpool did not suffer any personnel injuries and carried out a reasonable rotation, with the sole purpose of preserving strength for the third-tier operation.
The suspense is not big in the may 4th showdown again, and all Liverpool need to do is follow Manchester City in the league and wait for their mistakes.
