This is a match between Liverpool and Villarreal. One of the top teams in England versus one of the top teams in Spain. The Premier League versus La Liga. The Redmen versus the Yellow Submarine. And yet itâÂÂs really none of that. Some things go down to the micro level, as Sid Lowe explains with trademark eloquence in the first part (there will be more, and you will enjoy it) of your required pre-match reading â¦
Andoni Iraola versus his close compadre Iñigo Pérez kicks off at 8pm BST. Hasi da! ItâÂÂs on!
