# Who was Liverpool’s best player against Villarreal?

The Reds are back in a European final, and it feels good.

It may be the Europa league, but the prize of a Champions League spot is just too enticing to dampen my spirits.

In a season of woeful inconsistency brightened by some genuinely magic moments (Dejan Lovren against Dortmund, 5-4 away at Norwich, appointing Jürgen Klopp) the Europa League final will be the second chance at a cup for Liverpool this season.

Following a frustrating first leg where the team seemed to lack direction and impetus, worsened by a late Villarreal strike, the second leg needed a typical Liverpudlian European night.

And oh wow, how the team delivered.

In this feature, vote for the player you think had the better game, and you will finish with a last man standing.
