Liverpool did it the hard way in Spain, but overcame Villarreal relatively comfortably in the end to book their place in a third Champions League final in the last five years.
First-half goals from Boulaye Dia and former Arsenal midfielder Francis Coquelin sent the Yellow Submarine into a shock 2-0 lead on the night in the second leg of the semi-final, levelling on aggregate.
But some suspect goalkeeping and strikes from Fabinho, Luis Diaz and Sadio Mane ensured the Reds would book their place in the Paris showpiece later this month, where they will take on either Manchester City or Real Madrid.
