Jurgen Klopp said if he was younger he would have been "really angry" after being asked if the Champions League semi-final was already over after winning the first-leg 2-0 at Anfield.
The Liverpool manager was proven right after a chaotic second-leg in Spain on Tuesday night in which the Reds had to come back from two goals behind to claim the win. Luis Diaz, who came on for Diogo Jota at halftime, inspired the Reds to book their place in the Champions League final in Paris on May 28.
Goals from Fabinho, Diaz and Sadio Mane in 12 second-half minutes overturned the tie after Liverpool had looked vulnerable in the first half. It came after the Reds were sent a warning about Villarreal ahead of kick-off by former players Peter Crouch and Michael Owen.
