At the time, a thunderous header from Liverpool center-back Ibrahima Konate gave the Merseysiders an early lead. But the key moment at Wembley came when Sadio Mane slid in on the hesitating shot-stopper to bundle the ball into Liverpool's second goal into the net.
Mane scored a stunning second goal of the match, blasting home a fantastic Thiago Alcantara pass on the half volley. Manchester City drew level after halftime thanks to a strike from Jack Grealish, before Bernardo Silva cut the deficit to a single goal in the 91st minute.Unfortunately for Steffen and Guardiola, the former Dusseldorf goalkeeper's error proved fatal, as Liverpool survived a late scare to reach the final, where they will face Chelsea. Guardiola's daring move, according to O'Hara, was borderline disrespectful to Liverpool and Klopp.
The Glazers, who own Manchester United, are poised to borrow additional money for a £200 million renovation.
"But they were missing Kyle Walker and Kevin de Bruyne, and they had a tough midweek match against Atletico Madrid that would have sapped their energy." Because they rested players against Benfica, Liverpool was always going to be quick out of the blocks."They were playing Steffen in goal at full strength and full throttle." It's almost as if you're disrespecting Liverpool by showing up in an FA Cup semi-final and fielding your backup goalkeeper against the finest side in the world at the moment. Come on, Pep, how many times are you going to do this?"
"Like, Pep, how many times are you going to do this?" The Champions League final might pit City and Liverpool against each other once more.
The Citizens must first defeat La Liga leaders Real Madrid, while Liverpool will face Villarreal, the season's surprise gift. In the Premier League, the Reds are only one point behind City.The Reds are also only one point behind City in the Premier League table, having closed a 14-point difference that was previously considered unbridgeable.
