Jurgen Klopp has urged Liverpool players to ignore their Champions League semi-final advantage after they took a significant step towards a third final in five years.
An own goal from Pervis Estupinan and Sadio Mane’s 20th goal of the season earned the Reds a 2-0 first-leg win over Villarreal at Anfield on Wednesday night.
Liverpool dominated possession but had to wait until the second half to find a way through the Spaniards, who had frustrated Juventus and Bayern Munich in the previous two rounds.
