Jurgen Klopp's assistant couldn't perform half-time duties because Liverpool were so poor

Liverpool completed a stunning comeback in Villarreal to reach the Champions League final after the Reds arguably had their worst half of the season during the first 45 minutes.

The Spanish side stunned Jurgen Klopp's men as they came flying out the block and racing to a 2-0 lead with the tie all square. Liverpool couldn't get anything going in attack and looked shaky in defence - a rare occurrence throughout this campaign.

It was a classic case of being a game of two halves, however, as Luis Diaz inspired a second-half turnaround with goals from the Colombian, Fabinho and Sadio Mane as they ran out 3-2 winners (5-2) on aggregate to reach the showpiece in Paris at the end of the month.
