Liverpool were still not easy to mess with, and after being beaten by Villarreal, they quickly reversed Villarreal in the second half with amazing momentum and reached the Champions League final with an aggregate score of 5-2, while also achieving the feat of reaching the Champions League three times in five seasons. They will face the winners of Manchester City and Real Madrid.
And this thrilling, ups and downs of the game, more liverpool's old spicy and Villarreal's childishness.
Liverpool showed courage.
Before the match, Liverpool were already favourites to win the title due to a 2-0 lead in the first leg, but in the first half of the game, Liverpool were knocked out by Villarreal's two slam sticks.
But as Liverpool often do, they came back roaring. Substitute Díaz was the driving force for Liverpool, while Villarreal apparently had no counterattack against Liverpool's attack. Fabinho, Mane and Díaz each scored one goal. After a worst 45 minutes of the season, Klopp brought back the best of Liverpool in the second half.
Villarreal's quick smothering stick surprised Liverpool.
Both teams had a 180-degree change in performance and the first leg, with Villarreal barely getting out of his own half and closing the aggregate gap in half in three minutes before equalising on aggregate in the first half after a powerful header.
In the first leg, due to Liverpool's strength, Villarreal could hardly even pass the ball, and now at his home, the positioning of both sides has been subverted. Klopp was stunned by Villarreal's quick transfer and was able to use the space behind the full-backs to strike. Although Liverpool recovered quickly in the second half, it seems that no other team has been able to impress Liverpool in this way.
Cochrane kicked himself.
Cochrane was a useful player for Arsenal and although the midfielder made 160 appearances for the Gunners, unfortunately he did not score a single goal for Arsenal.
In fact, before scoring in this game, Kirkland had scored a total of four goals in his career, two of which were in 2010 and 2013. And the goal of this game, he received a cross from Capué, the header was broken, it was his third goal in the last 9 years. His previous goals have come from four different clubs: Lorient, Freiburg, Valencia and Villarreal.
So it's safe to say that the goal in this game was his most memorable, even if the team lost in the end.
Emery is proud.
Emery has won all 12 knockout games while in charge at Sevilla, winning all four of Arsenal's games and four at Villarreal last season. It is worth mentioning that every game before Emery has been in the Europa League, and his only previous Champions League experience is in Paris.
This season, he led Villarreal to beat Juve in the round of 16, beating Juve easily 4-1 on aggregate, and then planned a resounding victory over Bayern, except for the one in Paris, where Emery had won 22 two-legged knockouts before that match. The opponents are Sevilla, Arsenal and Villarreal, with the victory over Bayern being his most brilliant match to date.
He had won the semi-finals as head coach for 10 consecutive times before this match, so it's no surprise that his team has achieved exciting results in this game, albeit with difficulties.
