Liverpool beat Villarreal to reach Champions League final

SMA NEWS – LIVERPOOL
Liverpool scored three second-half goals to overturn a two-goal first-half deficit and advance into the final of the UEFA Champions League (UCL) following a 3-2 win over ten-men Villarreal at the Cerámica Stadium in Spain on Tuesday night.
The 2019 UCL winners scored three goals in 12 second-half minutes through Fabinho, Luiz Diaz, and Sadio Mane to record a 5-2 aggregate victory over Villarreal.
Boulaye Dia and Francesco Coquelin had scored first-half goals to erase Liverpool’s two-goal first-leg lead before the visitors mounted a comeback.
The Reds advanced into their third UEFA Champions League final in five seasons and 10th overall in the club’s history.
Fabinho struck first before Luiz Diaz nodded through the helpless goalkeeper’s legs again in the 67th minute from Alexander-Arnold’s cross.
Mane then scored the match-winner in 72 minutes, as the Senegalese nicked the ball ahead of on-rushing Rulli before coolly slotting into an empty net to win the game.
Liverpool, six-time UCL winners, will face Real Madrid in the final set for Paris on May 28.
