Jürgen Klopp's men are aiming to reach a third Champions League final in the last five seasons.

The Reds have won the first leg of a European tie by a 2-0 scoreline on 15 occasions. They have never been eliminated.

Inside Anfield: Liverpool 2-0 Villarreal

This will be the 50th meeting between Liverpool and a team from Spain – their most against any nation. They have won 19 times, with 13 draws and 17 losses.

Sadio Mane has now scored 14 goals in the knockout stages of the Champions League – the joint-most by an African player, along with Didier Drogba.

The Reds are three goals short of recording 150 in European competition under Klopp.

Klopp's side have scored in 39 of their last 40 matches as the away team, only failing to find the net at Leicester City back in December.

Liverpool are unbeaten in their last 12 matches away from Anfield, winning 11.
