Villarreal take on the visitors Liverpool in the second leg of UEFA Champions League semifinals. The first leg result: 0-2. The match will be played on Tuesday, May 3rd at Estadio de la Ceramica (Villarreal).
Last year Emery brought to the club first major title in history - a victory in the Europa League. By the way, this just allowed qualify to the Champions League. There the Spaniards show a good result. In 2021, we managed to win the 2nd place in the quartet against the bright Atalanta, and in 2022, Unai showed himself to be an excellent tactician. "Yellow Submarine" did not look bright, even boring, but everything was clear there - the team was "sharpened" for the result. And, most importantly, this made it possible to knock out Juventus with Bayern, and each was treated without defeat - in a draw and a victory. But at Anfield they managed to hold out only a little more than half, and now Villarreal need to win back 2 goals.

Liverpool are contender for the "quadruple". This is the name of 4 titles that the club wins in 1 football season. The Reds already reached 2 cup finals against Chelsea, and 1 of them has already been won. In the Premier League, the race with Manchester City will obviously last until the very last round, and the Merseysiders have good chances. By the way, it is quite possible that the desire to leave more forces in domestic “arena” explains the scenario in which the British go through the playoffs of the Champions League. Incredibly, all 3 stages start the same way, with "grandmaster" 2-goal wins over all opponents - Inter, Benfica and, last week, Villarreal. This allowed in March-April to hold the return matches in the European Cup at "idle" speed. Especially given that there will be a tough Premier League game against Tottenham next weekend.
In 2016, in the Europa League, Villarreal won 1-0 at home, but then there was a crushing 0-3 defeat against Liverpool in England. Villarreal will not be able to use Alberto Moreno - by the way, the ex-player of the Reds. Liverpool are still in doubt about Firmino. Liverpool are pragmatic in the playoffs, so you should use the offer with a handicap of "+1 goal" on Unai Emery's wards
Prediction for the match: Villarreal to win with +1.0 handicap.
