Liverpool's Adam Lallana confident of "magical" comeback against Villarreal

Lallana confident of "magical" comeback

Liverpool midfielder Adam Lallana has insisted that he and his teammates will get the two goals that they need to reach the Europa League final.

The Reds suffered a blow when what looked destined for a goalless draw ended in a late 1-0 defeat to Villarreal in the first leg of their semi-final tie in Spain last night.

Jurgen Klopp's men reached the semis by coming from 3-1 down to earn a dramatic 4-3 win over Borussia Dortmund at Anfield.

Lallana is confident that the team can perform another comeback, with help from the fans.

"Trust me, I cannot wait for next week," Sky Sports News quotes Lallana as saying. "I keep thinking about Dortmund and what happened then. The fans have got a massive role to play. We are going to make it a rocking atmosphere and we will get the two goals that we need.

"The manager has told us that they are there for the taking. He told us that we have got the fans and then he said 'We will make it another magical night next week'."

Before the second leg, Liverpool will take on Swansea City in the Premier League this Sunday.
