Virgil van Djik has warned Villarreal that Liverpool will not be going into the second-leg 'defending' their lead as they look to protect a two-goal first-leg advantage.
Jurgen Klopp's side ran out 2-0 winners at Anfield on Wednesday night to put themselves one step closer to booking their place in the Champions League final next month. After a goalless first-half, the Reds took the lead through Pervis Estupinan's 53rd-minute own-goal before Sadio Mane doubled their advantage just moments later.
It was a terrific display from Klopp's side, who dominated from start to finish and limited the visitors to very few opportunities. In fact, Villarreal posted just one shot on goal and failed to register an effort on target.
