If Villarreal believed for a long time to do the feat, especially following dominating the head and shoulders in the first half, the Yellow Submarine finally lost to Liverpool (2-3, 2-5 on aggregate) and come out of the Champions League with their heads held high.
It was another gala evening for Villarreal. If the Spanish club is only 7th in La Liga, still not qualified for European competition next season, Unai Emery’s men have achieved a remarkable European career during which they eliminated Juventus and Bayern Munich then held the high dragee in Liverpool.
Aïssa Mandi, once more replacing this evening, witnessed from the bench the almost remuntada of his team (2-0 at half-time) then the awakening of Liverpool, impressive in the second half (2-3 final score). The Algerian central defender, holder last weekend in the league to blow Raul Albiol, did not play a single minute of his team’s semi-finals.
#UCL | 2-3 ⏱ 90’+2′ | .
It might not be and, despite an incredible 1st part that has made us dream, we will not play the final of the @ChampionsLeague.
