It may have been all smiles at full-time inside Estadio de la Cerámica for Jurgen Klopp and his squad, however the picture was much different at half-time as Liverpool went into the break 2-0 down after a torrid first half in which hosts Villarreal blew them away.
The Reds were second best across the whole pitch and needed a Luis Diaz-inspired turnaround in the second half to secure their place in Paris later this month.
Klopp shared after the game that he requested at half-time that his assistant Peter Krawietz find one clip to show to the players in the dressing room of the team doing things “the way he wanted”, but Krawietz stated he “couldn't find one".
