Salah assisted Fabinho's goal to blow the counter-attack horn for Liverpool.
In the first leg, Liverpool won easily 2-0 at home, which made the outside world unanimously optimistic about their promotion prospects. However, the "yellow dive" who has previously eliminated Juventus and Bayern Munich with his outstanding home performance obviously does not want to give up. Cheered by tens of thousands of fans at the Ceramics Stadium, they scored the Liverpool goal less than three minutes into the opening, with veteran Capuel's cross and Ivorian striker Dia pushing inside the penalty area to break the net. The morale of the "Yellow Dive" who ushered in a dream start was greatly boosted, and the offensive wave was higher than the wave. In the 41st minute, it was Capué who instigated the attack, and the 33-year-old French midfielder crossed from the right to assist compatriot Kirkland's header to make it 2-0. Before the end of the half, the two teams returned to the same running line, and the "yellow dive" with home advantage was even more morale.
Substitute Díaz scored.
At the crucial moment, Liverpool boss Klopp made a key adjustment, and he stepped up his attack with Colombian striker Luis Díaz, who was introduced during the winter transfer period, at half-time. In the second half, Liverpool regained their strength, and in the 62nd minute, Salah and Fabinho played a combination on the right side, the latter scored from a small angle, and Liverpool once again grabbed the promotion advantage; in the 67th minute, Dias received a cross from Arnold to break the goal; in the 74th minute, the "yellow submarine" goalkeeper made a mistake, and Mane single-handedly pushed the empty goal - in 12 minutes, Liverpool scored three goals in a row, sinking the "yellow submarine", and advancing to the final 5-2 in two legs.
The second leg of the other semi-final will be played in the early morning of May 5, Beijing time, and Real Madrid will face Manchester City at home in the Premier League, and in the first leg, Manchester City won 4-3 at home.
