Liverpool reaches Champions League final after being rocked by Villarreal
CNN
Liverpool's pursuit of an unprecedented quadruple remains intact after a spectacular second-half comeback saw the Reds overcome a huge scare against Villarreal in the Champions League semifinal on Tuesday.
Three goals in rapid succession from Fabinho, Luis Diaz and Sadio Mane rocketed Liverpool to a 3-2 victory (5-2 on aggregate) and a third Champions League final in just five years, though the scoreline -- quite literally -- told only half the story.
Despite arriving at Estadio de la Cerámica with a commanding two-goal advantage, Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp had warned that his side would have to be "ready to suffer," and the German's words proved prophetic as Villarreal stunned the visitors with a ferocious first-half display.
