The Champions League semi-finals are here and Liverpool are facing Villarreal in the last four of the competition that now has the remaining teams believing they can lift the trophy.

Villarreal performed a big shock in the semi-final as they managed to overcome Bayern Munich thanks to a last minute goal at the Allianz Arena, whilst Liverpool beat Benfica.

With Europe approaching the final stages of the 2021/22 season, a lot is at stake, and whilst many will expect Liverpool to win, they should not underestimate the La Liga side.
