Anfield lived a legendary evening, but it was deserved for those fans who, even seeing their led to the score for almost 80 minutes at home, No have never stopped pushing, to sing, to believe. They were rewarded in the end suspense in stoppage of a crazy game time, even those we’ll talk about for years.
For Dortmund had managed the perfect start to the match. Very aggressive in pressing, explosive recovery of the ball, the Germans were rewarded input: Mkhitaryan (5th, 0-1) and Aubameyang (9th, 0-2) were shooting Mignolet and left Liverpool in a critical situation. Origi well tried ringing the revolt, but it was the fault at the break (48th, 1-2). Too late, especially as Reus relaunched his less than ten minutes later (57th, 1-3).
It was not counting on the obstinacy of the Reds. In an incredible atmosphere, visitors retreated and Coutinho (66th, 2-3) kept jostling. Two heads, one dotted with Mamadou Sakho (3-3, 80th), another powerful Lovren in injury time (4-3, 90 + 1), the Reds succeeded the impossible and snatched their qualification for the semifinals. The English club had not reached the last four of the competition since 2010: it remains on course for a fourth crown, and preserves the same time his unbeaten home record against German clubs (ten wins and four draws in 14 confrontations).
No concern either for Villareal, who outclassed Sparta Prague in the Czech Republic ( 4-2), confirming its success from last week (2-1). The former Sochaux Cedric Bakambu, double goalscorer in the first leg, still made the scoresheet twice (5th, 49th).
Seville and Bilbao (3-3 on both confrontations) needed a penalty shoot-out goal to tie. Both teams went shot for shot, each winning 2 goals to 1 to the outside. Thursday, untenable Aritz Aduriz opened the scoring (57th), but Kevin Gameiro responded in stride (59th). Raul Garcia (80th) finally sent the teams into overtime, and then to the end of the night on penalties, which in a tense atmosphere, the tricolor striker Seville, yet victim of cramps early in the evening, a scored the penalty of qualification.
