Tonight and tomorrow night will be a night to remember in the history of football. The whole world is already anticipating a great game of football from Villarreal, Liverpool, Real Madrid and Manchester City.
For the record, it's the semi-final of the European champions league (UCL) and we are about to be captivated by this beautiful game of football. The game we love so much.
This is the second leg of this round of the competition and it will be played in Spain. The first leg was played in England and it was worth all the hype.
Let's look at tonight's fixture between Villarreal and Liverpool
Man, I'm already set for this cracker. The first leg was played a week ago in Anfield and Villarreal managed to close their gate in the first half of the game. Liverpool on the other hand asked questions on multiple trials but they couldn't break the deadlock until the second half of the game.
We squeezed in two unreplied goals within the first 15 minutes of the second half so, the odds are in our favour as we get into today's game. Unai Emery has already promised that Liverpool will be facing a different side of Villarreal today.
I understand every part of that statement because I've seen it from this same Villarreal teamwhen they knocked out Juventus and Bayern Munich. Unlike what played out in Anfield, I don't expect Villarreal to sit back and defend. Not today!
That will only work to their disadvantage. This shows that today's game will see both Villarreal and Liverpool going punch for punch in their attempt to secure their ticket to the finals which will be played in France.
Let's get to Liverpool's lineup for today's game
The lineup is already out and looking top-notch.
This shows that 5 changes were made to the side that played in our win against Newcastle last weekend. TAA, Konate, Fabinho, Thiago and Salah are introduced back to the starting XI after a much-deserved rest.
Our bench is also looking phenomenal.
That is it, lads.
That's how the boys turned up for tonight's game. I want a win from this although a draw will send us to the final. But, a win will be a good way to keep our morale high. Hehe.
Whatever... Let's just Quality for the finals. At this stage, that's all I care about.
