Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp equals a Champions League record after his side beat Villarreal 5-2 on aggregate in the semi-finals.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has equalled a Champions League record after his side beat Villarreal 5-2 on aggregate in the semi-finals.

After winning the first leg 2-0 at Anfield last week, the Reds found themselves two goals down at half time in the second leg on Tuesday night, courtesy of goals from Boulaye Dia and Francis Coquelin.

However, Liverpool turned the game on its head with strikes from Fabinho, Luis Diaz and Sadio Mane helping the Merseyside outfit secure a 3-2 win in Spain, booking their place in the Champions League final.

Liverpool have now reached three Champions League finals in the last five years, all under the tutelage of Klopp, who himself has now reached four finals as a coach in the competition, including one with Borussia Dortmund.

The German has now become the fifth manager in European Cup/Champions League history to reach four finals, along with Marcello Lippi, Miguel Munoz, Carlo Ancelotti and Sir Alex Ferguson.

Klopp is also the first manager to progress to the finals of the Champions League, FA Cup and League Cup in the same season.

Either Real Madrid or Manchester City will lock horns with Liverpool in the Champions League final at the Stade de France on May 28.
