Liverpool narrowly beat Villarreal 3-2 away in the second leg of the Champions League semi-final this morning, because the first leg was 2-0, so Liverpool advanced to the final with an aggregate score of 5-2, and then waited for the winners of Real Madrid and Manchester City tomorrow morning. For Liverpool, they want to compete with Real Madrid, because the team has lost to Real Madrid in the Champions League final to see their opponents win the championship, and this season also wants revenge. If it is a Premier League civil war against Manchester City, this season's league title is also these two teams, so Klopp also hopes to compete with Guardiola in the cup, and the Manchester City manager's desire for the Champions League is higher than the league, so tomorrow morning will also desperately win.
After this game, the relevant data shows that Liverpool have reached the Champions League final three times in the past 5 seasons, which also proves the strength of Klopp, the current manager has renewed his contract with the club, the growth of young players this season is more obvious, Klopp may indeed give the team more honors. The last time the team reached the top of the Champions League was in the Champions League final in 18-19, when the team beat Tottenham Hotspur 2-0 to win the title. In the 17-18 season, he also reached the final, but unfortunately lost the title 1-3 to Real Madrid. In the past two seasons, the team has missed the top 8, the team has been eliminated by Ma Jinghel Real Madrid, and this season has eliminated Villarreal, who is also a La Liga team, which is also a broken spell, and then hopes to win the final championship.
Liverpool conceded the ball at the beginning of the second leg, Estupina crossed from the left, Capué inserted a knock back inside the box to assist Breyer Dia's empty goal, and the Liverpool defence did not keep an eye on the two in the box, which was also a team omission. After that, Jota missed a one-handed opportunity, Salah's shot was deflected, his teammates threatened the goal with a long-range shot without success, and before half-time, the opponent still used the side to cross the ball to the next city, when Capue's cross from the right assisted Coquelin's header, and Alexander-Arnold became the background board.
In the second half, Klopp replaced Jota with Louis Díaz, and this substitution worked, both of whom were the team's new talents, but this season's performance of Díaz was more amazing. Liverpool's goal was in the 61st minute, Salah directly assisted Fabinho to shoot decisively, then Alexander-Arnold crossed from the right, Luis Díaz headed the equaliser, Keita picked up a one-handed opportunity to deliver Mane's one-handed ball, the latter scored the ball, Liverpool completed the counter-attack in the 12th minute, this during the intermission strain is in place, Dias's goal is more critical.
Liverpool has scored 86 rounds in 34 league rounds this season, the most in the Premier League, Manchester City has 2 goals less than Liverpool, Manchester City has conceded 21 goals, Liverpool has conceded 22 goals, and the performance of the two strong offensive and defensive ends is indeed similar. In the Champions League knockout round, Manchester City kept a clean sheet, Liverpool conceded more games, manchester City's opponents were stronger in the semi-finals, and It was not difficult for Liverpool to qualify, but they also conceded 3 goals away from home, and the problem on the defensive end would also be a hidden worry in the final.
The 36th round of the Premier League continues this weekend, the only strong conversation is Liverpool's home game against Tottenham, the team's Champions League away games have consumed physical energy, so there is a possibility of a draw against Tottenham, and the problem of defensive line may also give the opponent a chance. Liverpool can't afford to lose in this game, because once they lose points, they will be pulled apart by Manchester City, the top team has been very efficient on the offensive end recently, and it is difficult to make Pep Guardiola's team upset in the league, so Klopp is bound to go all out to win this battle, and the rotation is inevitable.
Tottenham Hotspur is currently in fifth place, two points less than fourth-place Arsenal, and it is possible to be in the top four if they win this round, so the team is also aiming for three points against Liverpool, and Conte must hope that the team can influence the Premier League championship. Because of the Champions League matches, Manchester City started at the end of this round, the team sat at home to meet Newcastle on Sunday, this opponent should not have the strength to intercept Manchester City, guardiola's current squad thickness is enough for rotation.
Other strong teams are against weak teams this round, Chelsea at home to Wolves, Arsenal home to Leeds United, Manchester United away to Brighton, these weak teams ranked 8th, 17th, 9th respectively, only Leeds United has relegation worries, other teams have no desire, so the Blues and Red Devils pressure is less. However, the league competition for the fourth is still fierce, all the teams involved in European qualification can not lose points, because the difference between the third and sixth teams in the league is 8 points, Chelsea has 5 points more than the fifth-placed Tottenham Hotspur, and there are still 4 rounds in the league, so the pattern of the top four may change, and the strong teams must also deal with all the competitions in this round.
Although Manchester United does not have the possibility of the top four, but still need to work hard for European qualification, the team is currently 2 rounds of more than Tottenham Hotspur 3 points less, it is not easy to surpass the opponent, but still need to maintain a full victory, and wait for the opponent to make a mistake. Manchester United in the last round of the game offensive end of the fire, the recent poor performance of the forward players have scored, the first half of the Ilanga assist B fee first, in the second half C Ronaldo personally took the lead, at the end Varane played the winning goal, B fee after breaking the drought is also beneficial to the team, he and C Ronaldo If they connect to improve the offensive efficiency, there is still a chance to improve the ranking.
