In a gut-watering goal battle, Manchester City beat Real Madrid 4-3 at home, and since UEFA has abolished the away scoring rules since the beginning of this season, it means that Real Madrid must return to the second leg to beat Manchester City at home to reach the final. Judging from Manchester City's performance in the first leg, real Madrid's difficulty in turning over is not small, which can also be seen from the list of championship favorites given by the institution, Manchester City ranked first with a data of 2.1, while Real Madrid was 10.
Liverpool beat Villarreal 2-0, a match in which Klopp's side almost kicked their opponents, shooting 19-1 on goal and 73% possession of the Reds. The Yellow Submarine's tactic today is to swing the bus, but they have tried all the time and were scored 2 goals by Liverpool, which is the terrible thing about the Reds. This means that Villarreal must return home to win Liverpool by 2 or more goals if he wants to turn the tables, but Klopp's team is in a good state, and the chances of the Yellow Submarines overturning are too small.
From the current situation, manchester city and Liverpool are becoming more and more likely to meet in the Champions League final, and the Champions League final may become a civil war in the Premier League - it should be noted that it was 2 Premier League teams that reached the Champions League final last season, and Chelsea beat Manchester City 1-0 to win the Big Ears Cup. The last time Liverpool reached the Champions League final, it also faced a Premier League team, and in the Champions League final of the 2018-19 season, Liverpool beat Tottenham Hotspur 2-0 to win the title.
