#2 Liverpool convert their chances expertly
It was a chastening experience for Liverpool in the first half. Their midfielders were chasing shadows, Mohamed Salah was devoid of any service with City running them round in circles. But Liverpool made sure they kept their advantage intact for as long as possible and then started the onslaught in the second half.

City dropped their intensity in the second interval and invited Liverpool back into the match. After some good work by Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Sadio Mane, Mohamed Salah rounded off the keeper to score the much needed away goal by dinking one past Nicolas Otamendi. It was his 39th goal of the season.
Roberto Firmino then added the second in the final quarter and helped Liverpool complete a European double over the Premier League champions-in-the-making. Firmino now has nine Champions League goals to his name, the highest ever tally from a Liverpool player.
The biggest difference between the two sides was their finishing. On one hand, Manchester City dominated possession over the two legs but lacked penetration, whereas Liverpool were clinical with their chances and showed why they are considered one of the best-attacking sides in the world.
