Liverpool Handed Villarreal Test, Shakhtar Face Sevilla In Europa League Semi-Final Draw
Liverpool's reward for their stunning comeback win over Borussia Dortmund is a Europa League semi-final showdown with Villarreal.
Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool will face Villarreal in the last four of the Europa League, while Sevilla were pitted against Shakhtar Donetsk in Friday's draw in Nyon.
A stunning late fightback saw the Reds progress to the semi-final at the expense of Klopp's old club Borussia Dortmund and they must now find a way past La Liga opposition to reach the May 18 final at Basel's St Jakob-Park.
The first legs – which see Shakhtar and Villarreal as the home sides – will take place on April 28, with the return matches a week later.
