It is Big-ly: Man City v. Liverpool, Leg Two


The starting XI is pretty much as expected. Admittedly, the bench is depleted; however, hopefully, they won't be called into service other than to provide some fresh defensive energy to close out the match. If they have to call up on the reserves to chase the game, then it would mean Liverpool is in serious trouble!

And here is the starting XI and the bench for Manchester City.

Currently, LFC has a three-goal edge.

If at the end of regulation the aggregate is:
3-0 LFC advances
3-1 LFC advances
3-2 LFC advances
3-3 goes to Extra-Time
3-4 Man City advances
4-4 LFC advances on away goals
4-5 Man City advances

Let's Go Liverpool!

IT. IS. A. FINAL!!!

Liverpool advance to the semi-finals with a 2-1 victory in leg two with a 5-1 aggregate!

Man City came out on fire and got a very quick goal and put LFC on their heels and came at them in waves. Some disputed calls went against Man City and the half ended 1-0 in favor of Man City but still down 3-1 on aggregate. Coach Pep was hot at the referee and was sent to the stands.

Man City continued to press but LFC continued to parry and you guessed it, MO SALAH got the goal at 56.

Man City had to push forward even more down 4-1 on aggregate and needed 4 goals to win. Liverpool defended and got the insurance goal from Bobby Firmino at 77.

Man City gamely fought on but Liverpool began to sub in some fresh legs to finish off the match.

Here are the highlights from Fox Sport. Fantastic goals by Salah and Firmino.
