Villarreal’s European hopes hanging on win over Liverpool
The small Spanish city of Villarreal could be facing its last Champions League night in a while if it doesn’t pull off another upset on Tuesday against Liverpool. The modest club ousted Juventus and Bayern Munich on its way to a surprise semifinal appearance. But if it can’t reverse a 2-0 first-leg loss against the English club, recent history shows it may not have another chance to play in the competition any time soon. Villarreal is only seventh in the Spanish league, nine points from the final qualification place for the European competition with four rounds to go.
