Liverpool couldn't have picked a better time to play their best game of the year. The Red Men completely overwhelmed Villarreal in the second leg of the Europa League semi-finals, 3-0, after losing the first leg, 1-0.
The match saw world-class performances by Emre Can, Nathaniel Clyne and Roberto Firmino in particular, but no one in the squad could be said to have played poorly.
And one man was even more world-class than the rest.

REEEEEMMIIIX!!!
What Jurgen Klopp has done with a patchwork squad of ill-fitting soccer parts has been nothing short of remarkable.
And here are the match highlights:
Whoops! We have just been informed that the above video is not, in fact, the highlights from Liverpool vs. Villarreal, but rather a video of Jurgen Klopp spliced into Snoop Dogg's "Drop it Like it's Hot." We apologize. Here are the real match highlights.

Also, Roberto Firmino did something to Roberto Soldado that, had it been done to us, would have resulted in us locking ourselves in our apartment and refusing to come out.
