Liverpool faced Villarreal in the Champions League on Wednesday night. With the Reds deemed as overwhelming favourites, the contest appeared to be the ultimate banana skin fixture.
Unai Emery's men had knocked out Juventus in the round of 16, before defeating Bayern Munich in the quarter-finals. Villarreal had conceded just two goals against those two giants, despite playing 360 minutes of football against them.
Their clash with the German champions in particular provided a stern warning for Jurgen Klopp's outfit. Bayern are regarded as one of the best attacking outfits in Europe unlike Juventus, yet even they struggled to break through.
