However, after the match, the German strategist was still cautious: “Obviously we have to keep fighting. When there is a moment where Villarreal can come out of the pressure, they immediately become a threat. For most of the game, we handled that really well and played a good game.

We have to stay optimistic and keep the faith. The whole team must come to Villarreal’s field and will try to win the right to play in the final. You have to be fully awake and 100% mentally alert to play the second leg like the first. We’re 2-0 up, that’s fine. But everything is still ahead.”

Meanwhile, Andy Robertson, Liverpool defender, regrets: “We had a few chances in the first half, trying to break the deadlock. We had a little bit of momentum after the first goal and the excitement in the stands was unbelievable. We scored the second. I would love to have one more goal, but keeping a clean sheet and two goals also makes me happy.”

On his side, Villarreal coach Unai Emery said: “In the semi-finals you have to face strong opponents like this. We wanted to win, wanted to control, but they didn’t let us do that. We couldn’t keep up with them, and fought back as hard as we could to hope for a better result in the second leg. In La Ceramica it will be different.

Liverpool are title contenders but I know I can compete with them. We had a plan but it didn’t work out. But things can be different at home, the players still believe in that.”
