Having a matchup against Villarreal must be feeling different for Liverpool now. Because Villarreal are the only unexpected team in this round of the tournament. Liverpool must be aware that they need to play very carefully against them. Even if they underestimate their competitor a little, this might cause them to be eliminated surprisingly. But Liverpool are not like that. They always take their competitors seriously in a huge tournament like this one. So I believe they will get past Villarreal in this round as well.

I agree with you, Liverpool should be aware that their opponent is playing very well this year. Therefore, they will think of their opponent as a strong team. and they will play accordingly in the match. I think that they will get a win without letting his opponent score a goal in the match that will be played 4 days later.
The better they play in this match, the more comfortable they will be in the coming days

Even though Villarreal have been an unexpected team and put in a good game in this Champions League, I still believe that Liverpool will get through this with a win. Liverpool have an equally good team from defense to attack, this is good capital for them. Because we can see when Villarreal got rid of Bayern Munich, Villarreal was able to suppress the opponent's attack with the calm they did in defense.

All the teams that have entered the semifinals are of course strong teams and should not be underestimated but if you look at the quality of the players and the consistency of the team throughout this season Liverpool are far superior and have greater potential to beat Villarreal, although it will not be easy.

nothing will be easy now that Villarreal are playing without any weight and they will certainly be more confident after making a surprise entry to the semifinals and beating Bayern.
Even though Liverpool are ahead of the game and consistency, but in this Champions League semi-final, anything can still happen, I think both teams still have the same chance to make it to the final.

Liverpool have to sit tight in this their next match else another surprises will emerge because I've taken into consideration the mode of operation of this season matchs and discover that the lower team are feasting on the bigger ones setting new records I don't need to start proving these we all can see how the matches are going, but as for me i still strongly start up for Villarreal once again, they have been trying and need more courage to reach their final stage.

Indeed, sometimes the dark horse team makes a surprise that can reach the end or until the final match and it is not impossible for Villarreal to win the title if they qualify for the final match. But I personally don't believe that will happen, because basically with the example in the previous match where Villarreal could beat Juventus and also Bayern Munich, then of course Liverpool have high anticipation so that such a result doesn't happen to them.

Liverpool is undoubtedly the favorite in this match. But as much as the Villarreal team did against Bayern Munich, they are more likely to do the same against Liverpool. However, Liverpool is a very experienced team. They will not make the same mistake as Bayern Munich. Klopp may have already figured out his own weaknesses and is trying to make the team more stable. However, I am hopeful that Liverpool will not make any mistakes in the semi-finals, and will win both matches.

Villarreal have progressed very well this season as historically they have beaten two big teams including Juventus and Bayern Munich, so Liverpool will have to put all their might to win the semi-finals, but I am also optimistic that Liverpool will realize their chances of winning against Villarreal.

You are right. Liverpool had to use their full strength to win. Villarreal is a very tactical team. They will probably apply a new strategy against Liverpool and will definitely want to win. Since the first leg was Liverpool's home match. So Liverpool must win the home match. If Liverpool is not able to win the home match, then maybe they will not be able to go to the final.

Most people here do not even watch football matches here or should I say they just come here read the next person's comments and form there own words.
I have gotten to see a lot of people do so.
Villarreal can go farther than this I know it's football, might be hard to believe but I know a lot of people will loss to the bookie's if few days time.
Villarreal should proceed to the next level which is the finals.

To think that Villareal will beat Liverpool and go to next stage and then telling people do not watch football is a bit of a oxymoron. Liverpool, I mean we are talking about Liverpool here. I get that Bayern was good and somehow Villareal managed to beat them and kudos to them, but do you really believe that they could do that all over again and this time against Liverpool? I see zero chance for Villareal this time around.

It will be easy win for Liverpool, for them it is nothing different than beating any other team they have so far. This is a team that could win it all and nobody would be shocked, they could even turn things around and win FA cup and Premier league in the same season, would be very difficult but not really shocking if it happens.

Obviously you are a big Liverpool fan but I have to ask you something.
Did you watch the first match between Bayern and Villareal?
Villareal were much better than Bayern and it is a miracle that the match ended with only a minimal victory of the Spanish team.
In Germany, Bayern were better but could not do much against the great defense of the Spanish team.
Therefore, be aware that Villareal did not accidentally qualify for the semifinals, or because they was very lucky, but thanks to the excellent tactics of the game.
I agree that Liverpool is a slight favorite, but they have two very difficult games against Villareal and everything is still open.

Since the first leg was Liverpool's home match. So Liverpool must win the home match. If Liverpool is not able to win the home match, then maybe they will not be able to go to the final.

Liverpool still has to face Everton tomorrow in the EPL match. Everton is a team that almost slipped into the relegation zone. Liverpool has the opportunity to rest their players in this match to be better prepared for the first leg against Villarreal.
although the Everton game is also important, I think they can handle it by playing it safe enough. Liverpool has the motivation to get 2 trophies this season. and it is very possible to achieve at this time. Hopefully, Liverpool can perform optimally.

Manchester City vs Real Madrid game next week is going to be the most attracting one to me. But I'm going to watch both of the semi-final games of course. For the game I mentioned, I think that Manchester City are going to have a dominant game in Etihad as always. I don't think that Real Madrid will be able to overwhelm their opponent at any point of the game. But they can make really deadly counter-attacks in this game too. Vinicius Junior - Benzema duo are going to be very dangerous for Manchester City if they have many opportunities.

Manchester City vs Real Madrid is surely going to be had most attraction from fans as currently both teams are at top in their leagues and having amazing form with some quality players but here things are going in favor of Ream Madrid because they have some amazing run of form in this competition specially as when we have results against PSG one of amazing matches in my life.

But, here Manchester City needs some good planning if they want to go through into final and want to win their maiden Champions League trophy they surely play aggressive game and try to have minimum 2 goals lead which can secure their place otherwise there is no chance for them against Real Madrid in away match for progress into final.

Manchester City should be able to win Real Madrid if all things are being equal, Real Madrid team cannot do without Benzema. It is truth they have the likes of Vinicius Jnr and Modric to display some level of brilliance that could swing the game to their advantage but Vinicius is not consistent game after game and Modric can be marked out. As for Manchester City, their major worries is the injuries plaguing the team now and this might just give Real Madrid the advantage.

Do you really think Klopp will let his players rest and lose the slim chance for the title? I think they will go out with the A team and play brilliantly, Villareal fought strong, their opponents underestimated them and lost but Liverpool will certainly kick them out with no problem.

I think Liverpool should be able to beat Villarreal effortlessly at home though; but following the antecedent of Villarreal in this competition this season, one can't just rule them out. Beating Bayern Munich the way they did really passed a strong statement to everyone. The Liverpool vs Villarreal tie will definitely be an interesting one but it is easy to go with Liverpool.

For Liverpool to win the Premier League trophy is also important, so I agree with you, Klopp doesn't want Liverpool to lose points against Everton.
So I believe Klopp will play the main players they have, Liverpool must win in every remaining game in the Premier League. So Klopp will not take
the risk of resting some of their main players, unless Liverpool are already ahead by a sizable goal difference before the game ends. There is
a possibility that Liverpool's main players who played against Everton will be replaced by Liverpool's reserves, so that their fitness is maintained.
I think Liverpool is one of the big teams in the Premier League that never underestimates any opponent they will face. Therefore, even though
the opponent they faced was Everton, who played inconsistently and almost entered the relegation zone. But Liverpool will play their best squad,
just to ensure victory can be obtained.

I believe Liverpool players are used to busy schedules, even though facing Everton using the first team. It doesn't mean Liverpool will lose
against Villarreal, I believe against Villarreal Liverpool players are still in good health. Since there are still 4 days gap for the Liverpool players
to rest  and recover their fitness, and can put out their best performance to be able to beat Villarreal in the Champions League 1st leg match.

For the Liverpool - Villarreal game, I will be favouring Liverpool to defeat their opponent. Villarreal have done a really great job so far by eliminating very big teams like Juventus and Bayern Munich. But I started feeling like this is the end for them in the Champions League. Liverpool have performed much more consistently than Juventus and Bayern Munich so far. They are a complete different team so Villarreal might have a hard time against them. I think Liverpool would keep themselves safe by winning this game.

Though we all know Liverpool are the favorite team to win the game, cause of their recent form, even at that Villarreal shouldn't be underestimated. I think Liverpool should be more conscious in this game cause it won't be a easy game for them  villarreal playing the semifinal of the champions is a shock to everyone, it wasn't expected. So I think they need to apply there best in this game.

Obviously Liverpool are aware of this because they also see who they will be fighting in this match to get to the final, so Liverpool also don't want to be careless or underestimate their opponent this time because in the Champions League all clubs must play very well and seriously. for the title or trophy of the Champions League this season.

I really don't think that Liverpool is going to take things easy in the English Premier League because if they win there will be just 1 point behind Manchester City just like before and they will still have a really good chance of winning the English Premier League. I really think that the Liverpool squad is fit enough to play both the matches in English Premier League and Champions League.
so if not any special events occur I think Liverpool is going to play a consistent game in both matches.

It is ok to think that Liverpool is going to win the match but I find it really unbelievable that people are still thinking Liverpool is going to win this match without any problem.

Because we also thought the same thing when Villarreal played against Bayern Munich.
Nobody gave them a chance against Bayern Munich but they did manage to win that match and they won that match by playing good football not just buying some dumb luck.  

So, I am expecting everyone to take Villareal seriously as that is the thing which Liverpool is also going to do in the Champions League match.
