Liverpool are through to the 2016 Europa League final after defeating Villarreal at Anfield tonight.
The Reds had lost the semi-final first leg 1-0 in Spain last week, but fought back to win 3-0 tonight in their first home match since the Hillsborough inquest verdict.
The Reds could now qualify for the Champions League if they beat holders Sevilla in the final in Basel, Switzerland on May 18th.
Sevilla will be hoping to secure their fifth UEFA/Europa League title and third in succession after beating Shakhtar Donetsk in their second leg match tonight.
