Liverpool’s fixture list has gone even more busy following their win in the Champions League.
The Reds claimed a 6-4 aggregate win over Benfica in their Champions League quarter-final tie, with the second leg at Anfield finishing 3-3 on the night. Ibrahima Konate header and a Roberto Firmino brace were enough for the Reds, with Goncalo Ramos, Roman Yaremchuk and Darwin Nunez on target for the visitors.
Jurgen Klopp’s side will now begin preparing for this weekend’s FA Cup semi-final against Manchester City. They themselves are through to the semi-finals after their drawing their second-leg against Atletico Madrid 0-0 at the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium. City held a 1-0 lead going into the second-leg.
