Unai Emery’s tactics of beating Juventus first and then Bayern Munich did not work for Klopp’s children. The first 45 minutes of the Champions League semi – final saw Liverpool break the deadlock and shake the net twice. Despite not having significant records in Europe’s big battles, Vieira saw the Champions League semi-finals as allies of the coups this season.
At each stage the horns came to the fore. The real Red Army came to the fore when those who overcame them all came to Anfield, shaking the opposition in the half-chances they got without waiting for the defense to break through. However, things did not go as expected. Jordan Henderson’s cross left footed off Pervis Estupinan’s leg into the back of the net. After all, Liverpool did as expected. The lead was split in two minutes when Passadio Mane beautifully put the ball into the back of the net following Mohamed Salah had the ball bouncing through the penalty box and into the back of the net.
The second quarter is on Tuesday at the Vijay plateau. It remains to be seen who the Copts will face in the Champions League in Paris in May, as it will be difficult for the La Liga team to overcome a two-goal lead.
Manchester City beat Real Madrid 4-3 in the first quarter of the first semi-final yesterday.
The real hero at Anfield was Louis Diaz, who joined Liverpool last January. Twice the player came close to shaking the net but unfortunately gave way. Muhammad Salah’s efforts flew similarly.
The bullet shot that Thiago once fired bounced off the post. Liverpool had 19 shots on hand, 73% of the game. And Viya, once.
