Villarreal have good capital against Liverpool in the semifinals first leg Liga Champions at Anfield Stadium, Thursday (28/4) early morning WIB. Villarreal beat Liverpool 1-0 in 2016.
The semi-final is a crucial match for Villarreal and Liverpool this season. The Reds and Villarreal are both looking to add a trophy to their wardrobe.
But especially for Villarreal, the title in the Champions League this season could lead them back to appear in the elite level competition.
Because, currently Villarreal is ranked seventh in the Spanish League standings. Seeing the difficult conditions to reach the top four, winning the Champions League this season could bring them to play in the same tournament next season.

In the semifinals of the first leg, Villarreal hosted the La Ceramica Stadium, 28 April 2016.
Villarreal, who was coached by Marcelino at the time, took the opportunity to host well.
Roberto Soldado and his friends won important capital by winning 1-0 through Adrian Lopez’s late goal which occurred in the 90+2 minute after using Suarez’s assist.
Compared to Liverpool this season, Villarreal are not seeded in the match later.
However, the hosts of the Reds should be wary, because Villarreal can reach the semifinals of the Champions League this season after getting rid of one of the candidates for champion Bayern Munich.
