Liverpool took a significant step towards a third Champions League final in five seasons when they beat Villareal in their semi-final first leg.
An own goal from Pervis Estupinan and a Sadio Mane strike earned the Reds a 2-0 triumph against the Spanish side. The result means Jurgen Klopp’s side still harbour hopes of a quadruple ahead of the return match next Tuesday.
But there was plenty that went unnoticed or under the radar during the 90 minutes at Anfield.
