I will leave you the report of Andy Hunter’s fight from Lisbon. Thanks for reading and good night! before 3 p.m. 22:10 Santio Mane: “I scored a goal today, I am happy, but more important are the goals we scored. We are now waiting for the next game to finish the work at home “. Andy Robertson: “It was a tough game, in the first half, it created good opportunities and it could have gone to a few more. We wanted to keep it tight and unfortunately we did; do not do that. They scored goals, they lifted the crowd, we became a little sloppy. The third goal was big, but we still have a little bit to do “. before 11 p.m. 22:03 Manchester City 1-0 Atletico Madrid means that there are many * many * in the second half of this draw. 16 minutes ago 21:57
Final: Benfica 1-3 Liverpool
A club record of five consecutive Champions League victories for Liverpool. They shook the first 25 minutes of the second half, but Diaz’s goal in the delay made them close enough for the last four. 18 minutes ago 21:56 90 + 7 minutes. Henderson plays Jota and Vlachimodos stops this draw by running to Benfica with a good block. before 21 p.m. 21:52 90 + 4 minutes: Fambino helped to get up. I wonder if a concussion problem here would prevent him from playing against Manchester City at the weekend – not that this is a priority here. I imagine he will sit out the seconds he dies. Before 23:21:50 90 + 2 minutes: Otamendi and Fambino collide with heads in a foul and both need long-term checks. The Liverpool man looks a little worse. before 24 p.m. 21:49 90 + 1 minute: We will see three extra minutes as this ends. before 26 p.m. 21:48 89 min: Gomez and Milner replace Alexander-Arnold and Keita. before 26 p.m. 21:47
Target! Benfica 1-3 Liverpool (Diaz, 87)
They take the third and now they are probably sealing the tie! Keita cuts in the midfield, pushes forward and slides Diaz. He passes Vlachodimos more or less easily, slips into the house and absolutely loves the disapproval of the faithful of Benfica. Liverpool had just accelerated things in the previous minutes and made it count. Liverpool’s Luis Diaz is celebrating after her third goal.

Robertson performs well once again from the corner, but just above all the heads. 30 meters ago 21:43 85 min: A shot by Jota is blocked out. Liverpool looks more like they did not mind a third goal, now. Alexander-Arnold takes a corner kick. before 31 p.m. 21:42 83 min: Alisson * almost * escapes with an awkward turn over Rafa Silva. For a while it looked like he had lost control of the ball. before 33 p.m. 21:41 82 minutes: Liverpool come to life again, but, after defending a chip from Henderson, Diaz misses his volley completely from the second. Benfica brings Ukrainian Yaremchuk to Everton. before 34 p.m. 21:39 81 minutes: And now he has won a foul for Liverpool in a similar area. Robertson will deliver … but Nunez is back in his own six-yard box to pull it off. before 37 p.m. 21:36 78 min: Jota tries to beat Otamendi on the left, but he’s not. He was fouled. before 39 p.m. 21:34 76 minutes: A slower spell. There were not too many in this half. I mean, Liverpool would take that even if the second period was stable for them. Before 42 p.m. 21:32 73 minutes: I thought Liverpool would have reached the quarter by now, just opened the scoring, but it did not happen in this half and Benfica has also raised the score. Before 43 pm 21:30 72 minutes: I have not seen the Van Dijk / Nunez incident, but there is a vocal thought that Benfica should have taken a penalty there. Van Dijk had a hand out, but the VAR said no. Before 46 m. 21:28 69 mins: Manchester City lead Atletico 1-0 thanks to Kevin De Bruyne. Before 47 meters 21:26 67 min: Nunez is far to the left! And he has acres to run! But he does not like to have a crack in his left leg and, controlling inside Van Dijk, he falls into the pile – not for the first time. No penalty. a lot of noise; a very lost position. Before 49 pm 21:24 65 min: Alexander-Arnold’s radar hits today and finds Robertson with his latest vision, like a laser diagonal inside the box. Robertson is in a similar area to the one from which Diaz set up the second, but his shot is cut. Before 52:21 21:22 63 minutes: Benfica’s pace is about billions of times higher than before the interval. I thought Keita was still too fast for Taarabt, who these days has been renewed as a diligent midfielder, who is being punished. Before 53 m. 21:20 61 minutes: It could and should be 2-2! Benfica break with men on; Everton have a man on his right, but he can also line up a clean 18-yard line … but Allison saves low! And Klopp does not confuse them now: Firmino, Yota and Henderson are coming for Mane, Salah and Thiago. Updated at 21.20 BST 1 hour ago 21:18 60 minutes: “Darwin [Nunez] “On the left for Benfica it seems like a natural choice,” said Gary Byrne. It is not bad. 1 hour ago 21:17 58 minutes: Soon we will see Jordan Henderson, Roberto Firmino and Diogo Jota, which does not surprise me at all. Thiago is the last to aim for a strange pass and shortly after he was booked. What a contrast to Liverpool’s first half. 1 hour ago 21:14 55 mins: Liverpool try to find their previous groove. However, Benfica looks a much cuter monster off the ball now. The next goal, if we succeed, will be very interesting … and Nunez is trying to achieve it, as he was deep in the big area from a good cross by Silva, but he made a mistake with his head. It was a decent opportunity for the 2-2. Updated at 21.14 BST 1 hour before 21:11 52 mins: Nunez takes advantage of Thiago’s mistake, now, but shoots aimlessly. 1 hour before 21:10 51 minutes: Well, fine. Fair play for Benfica because, despite being left out of the category, he kept going. And they have capitalized on a mistake by raising the roof!

Updated at 20.42 BST 2 hours ago 20:41 39 minutes: Diaz, still whistling, would like a goal and tried to score – but fired just outside the 20 yards. 2 hours ago 20:40 37 min: Allison’s artistic effort from Everton easily holds.

Goal! Benfica 0-2 Liverpool (Mane, 34)
Yes, it’s probably over. What a goal! Alexander-Arnold throws a * luxurious * 50-yard ball over the defense to Diaz, who has the mind to lower the perfect header to Mane … who finishes with confidence.
