Liverpool emerged victorious in the UEFA Champions League semi-final first leg on Wednesday night, after a comfortable 2-0 victory over Villarreal.
After a goalless first half, the Reds took the lead through an own goal from Pervis Estupiñán after Jordan Henderson’s cross deflected off the Ecuadorean deceiving goalkeeper Gerónimo Rulli.
They doubled that lead 3 minutes later as Mo Salah played in Sadio Mane to score his 20th goal of the season.
Sarafina Napoleon spoke on Football Frenzy on 99.3 Nigeria Info, discussing the effect of this victory ahead of the second leg.
Liverpool are 80% through to the final, she said, praising their doggedness against a well-drilled Villarreal side.
She went on to mention that the Liverpool team haven’t been given enough credit this season. A slip from Manchester City in the league and Liverpool could win the Quadruple (4 trophies).
