Jamie Carragher has backed Liverpool to have the edge and win the Champions League this season after they earned a 2-0 victory over Villarreal in their semi-final first leg at Anfield.
The Reds began the brighter of the two sides but were unable to find the breakthrough during the first-half, with Sadio Mane missing the best chance as he put a close-range header wide. Mohamed Salah also squandered an excellent opportunity as he blazed over following Trent Alexander-Arnold's cut-back.
However, Jurgen Klopp's side took the lead in the 53rd minute as Jordan Henderson's cross flew into the corner via a massive deflection from Pervis Estupinan. This gave the Reds a platform to build on and they doubled their advantage just moments later as Mane poked the ball beyond goalkeeper Geronimo Rulli.
