A good result for Villarreal to take to Anfield
Trending
Villarreal eventually looked like they wouldn’t get a goal just like Liverpool wouldn’t be able to snatch one but they got lucky and got a late winner by Adrian Lopez.
The result meant that Villarreal do not have to attack a lot in the next leg unless they go a goal or two down. Sturridge will likely be very isolated and Liverpool will have to be patient to open the yellow submarines up. Scoring in this match was more of Liverpool’s concern since that precious away goal counts so much.
Despite not being able to get that, it’s going to be game on at Anfield, keeping in mind the comeback Liverpool made against Dortmund at Anfield and scored four goals to win. It’s unrealistic to think that Villarreal will not score at Anfield, based on how impressive Liverpool’s defence was today, one goal in the second leg for the Spanish side might be all they can hope for.
Liverpool will most likely again need to secure 3-4 goals to win. It’ll be a brilliant second leg at Anfield with those incredibly loud Liverpool supporters, that’s for sure.
