Liverpool will be eyeing a spot in this season's Champions League final when Villarreal come to town on Wednesday night. Villarreal have already dumped Juventus and Bayern Munich out of this year's competition but a trip to Anfield represents their greatest challenge so far.

The Premier League's title challengers are in contention to win European football's prize but will have to overcome Spanish opposition to reach the final.

Pep Guardiola’s side are renowned for the quality of their football, but they demonstrated their grit and resilience to overcome Atletico in the previous round. David Alaba has been an inspired signing at the other end of the pitch. On each occasion, the trophy was won by a Spanish club, with Real Madrid defeating La Liga rivals Valencia 3-0 in 2000 and Barcelona overcoming 10-man Arsenal 2-1 in 2006.

Champions League semi-finals: possible line-ups and team news

Kevin De Bruyne, Gabriel Jesus, Phil Foden and Bernardo Silva were on target for Pep Guardiola's men, who should have scored many more. But Karim Benzema's ...

Benzema was the coolest man in the stadium as he chipped the spot-kick down the middle to leave the tie on a knife-edge headed back to the Spanish capital. Again City failed to put the tie to bed as Mahrez was inches away from finding the far corner from the narrowest of angles. But his decision to break from the mould of the past two seasons and play Jesus as a central striker was inspired as the Brazilian ran the Real defence ragged.

Defeat by Sevilla in the 2016 Europa League final was tough to take but Liverpool's players saw 'the start of something special'

His mentality was different, I felt he knew it was the start, and that confidence transcends to the players. “It is the semi-final of the Champions League. If it was easy, then something would be completely wrong. We need the atmosphere, we need the performance. “I said that night that we would come back, but without knowing we would come back! “That night always sticks out in my mind: he sort of knew what was coming in the next few years. As a player, it is very difficult to think like that then when you’ve just lost a final but I always felt he was very different to anything I’d seen before.

Manchester City and Liverpool are in contention to win European football's prize but will have to overcome Spanish opposition to reach the final.

Should Klopp's side surpass Villarreal, they will join AC Milan as the second-most successful team in the competition with seven titles. Villarreal have a strong nucleus of former Premier League players including Etienne Capoue, Francis Coquelin, Giovani Lo Celso, Juan Foyth and Arnaut Danjuma. Each time, the trophy was won by Spanish sides, with Real Madrid comfortably defeating La Liga rivals Valencia 3-0 in 2000 before Barcelona came from behind to defeat 10-man Arsenal 2-1 in 2006.

Defeat to Unai Emery's Sevilla in Europa League final was start 'of something special'. about an hour ago. Andy Hunter. Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp ...

“It is the semi-final of the Champions League. If it was easy, then something would be completely wrong. We need the atmosphere, we need the performance. “I think the manager had a very good way of seeing the bigger picture and using that experience to our benefit going forward. “That night always sticks out in my mind: he sort of knew what was coming in the next few years. As a player it is very difficult to think like that then when you’ve just lost a final but I always felt he was very different to anything I’d seen before. As Sevilla celebrated a third successive triumph in the competition under Emery, Liverpool retreated to the Novotel Basel City hotel to lick the wounds of a 3-1 defeat.

Manchester United have endured a pretty woeful time and one result almost 12 months ago has inadvertantly given Liverpool a great chance of completing.

“What I could experience with the club was unrepeatable. “I was clear from the start. And the Reds, who are favourites to reach the final in Paris due to their clash with Villarreal. An unprecedented quadruple is very much on the cards after Liverpool won the Carabao Cup, are in the FA Cup final, are one point behind Man City in the Premier League with five games to go, and of course, are in the semi-finals of the Champions League. This is only the fourth time Villarreal reached the Champions League, which shows how hard it is and it was a dream to play the competition with my lifelong club. Given that the Red Devils finished in second place in the Premier League, and were coming up against a side who could only secure a position in seventh in LaLiga, it was a disappointing result for the club.
