Jurgen Klopp warns Liverpool they must be 'completely on alert' for Champions League semi-final second leg against Villarreal - despite taking two-goal lead to Spain next week

Liverpool are on the verge of their tenth appearance in a European Cup final – but Jurgen Klopp warned his high-flyers they must remain on high alert.

Second half goals from Jordan Henderson and Sadio Mane, which came in the space of 133 seconds, put Liverpool firmly in control of their semi-final against Villarreal on a raucous night at Anfield.

But Liverpool boss Klopp was quick to rein in any ideas they have as good as booked a date in Paris next month against Manchester City or Real Madrid, stressing that Unai Emery's obdurate team have it within them to inflict maximum damage.
