Liverpool fans will be forgiven for being worried about their upcoming Champions League semi-final against Villarreal.
This tie has all the makings of an upset. The Reds are expected to win, yet Villarreal have already dumped out Bayern Munich and Juventus. And their manager Unai Emery has previously defeated Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool in a major European tie, guiding his Sevilla side to a 3-1 win in the Europa League final in Basel six years ago.
Yet Liverpool fans should take confidence from that disappointing defeat. Klopp certainly has, using it to inspire his team to the top of English and European football for the first time in a generation - as per captain Jordan Henderson's testimony.
