Rivaldo, a former Barcelona player, has cautioned Liverpool that they could be’surprised’ when they meet Villarreal in the UEFA Champions League semi-final later this month.
Liverpool advanced to the Champions League semi-finals after defeating Benfica in the quarter-finals earlier this week.
Villarreal, on the other hand, surprised many by knocking out Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich 2-1 on aggregate.
Both Liverpool and Villarreal will now compete for a place in the final in the last four.
Unai Emery’s team will not make the encounter easy for the Premier League giants, according to Rivaldo.
“At the moment, it is clear that Liverpool are favorites to eliminate Villarreal not only because of the quality of their team but also because of their history and tradition in the Champions League,” Rivaldo told Betfair.
“In any case, the Spanish team have already shown that it can face any team and Jurgen Klopp’s team cannot make it easy or can end up surprised.”
