Goals from Jordan Henderson and Sadio Mane have put Liverpool in the driving seat ahead of the second leg in Spain. If Villareal were to win the trophy, it would take the place from Celtic and mean that Ange Postecoglou’s team would be forced to qualifiers. Celtic could all but seal the title on Sunday against theRangers and they will keep their eye on the events of the second leg as they look to see whether it will be Klopp’s Quadruple chasers that make their way to the Final.
