Champions League semi-final secong leg, Stadio Olimpico – Roma 4 (Milner OG 15′, Dzeko 52′, Nainggolan 86′, 90+3′ P) Liverpool 2 (Mane 9′, Wijnaldum 25′)<\/p>\n
A glorious, wild and downright weird tie saw Liverpool reach the Champions League final. There they will meet Real Madrid, who are seeking their third straight win, and with both sides wonderful in attack but miserable in defence, we are guaranteed a treat.<\/p>\n
Leading 5-2 from the first leg, Liverpool knew that Roma would look to attack them and they were duly primed to counter; within nine minutes Roberto Firmino had seized on a misplaced pass, and Sadio Mane opened the scoring on the night.<\/p>\n
So Liverpool are in the final – a phenomenal achievement for Jurgen Klopp and his players. And while Madrid will be favourites, they will know that they are playing a team full of confidence, energy and goals. It is going to be a belter. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
