Fabinho said he initially thought about passing the ball instead of shooting in the buildup to his crucial goal against Villarreal on Tuesday.
The Brazilian started off Liverpool's comeback on the night at the Estadio de la Ceramica, as they eventually won 5-2 on aggregate against the La Liga side to book a spot in the Champions League final.
The Reds were 3-2 winners in the second leg, although they survived a scare in the first half as Villarreal moved to parity in the tie.
