A goalkeeping disaster from Geronimo Rulli has left Villarreal's dream of reaching the Champions League final in tatters despite a stunning first-half ...

And then Fabinho fired in, latching onto a Salah pass and shooting early through the legs of Rulli, who seemed to have expected the cross. Liverpool looked like a team smarting from a scolding after the break. Diaz volleyed over at the back post. Liverpool occasionally threatened on the break, with Mohamed Salah rolling Estupinan down the left and feeding Jota in the middle but Geronimo Rulli was quick to rush out and claw the ball away. Liverpool came out a different side in the second half heaping the pressure back on a conservative Villarreal before Fabinho broke though in the 62nd minute — and Rulli’s nightmare began. Trailing 2-0 from the first leg, Villarreal sparked hopes of a remarkable turnaround in the return at the Estadio de la Ceramica after Boulaye Dia finished in the third minute and Francis Coquelin headed in another to level the tie at 2-2.

Villarreal are unbeaten at home in the Champions League knockout stages, although five of those seven games have been stalemates, which won't be enough to progress here. Liverpool take a 2-0 advantage to Villarreal on Tuesday night, but the imposing stands of El Madrigal won't make it easy for Jurgen Klopp's side to reach another Champions League final.

It was a tale of two contrasting halves from Liverpool, but they are through to a fifth Champions League final this century.

It’s one thing to lose a header at the back post, another entirely to fail to spot the run and so not even jump for it. Diogo Jota is no slouch, but Diaz is a cut above. Two crosses caught Liverpool’s defence on their heels, with Van Dijk, Andy Robertson and Trent Alexander-Arnold all guilty of reacting too slowly.

His goal today was his first in the Champions League since March 2017 vs Manchester City while still with Monaco.

Villarreal pair Boulaye Dia and Francis Coquelin both scored their first ever Champions League goals in this match. They are only the second side to lose a Champions League semi-final match despite leading by 2+ goals at half-time, after Ajax vs Spurs in 2018-19. "We never make these Champions League semi-finals easy for ourselves," Alexander-Arnold told BT Sport. "Thinking back to Roma away and Barcelona at home and now here.
