Liverpool 4-1 Benfica: Europa League Goals and Highlights (Video)
Goals from Kuyt, Lucas, and two stunners from Torres saw Liverpool comfortably beat Benfica in the quarter final of the Europa League.
The only potential signs of stress came when Benfica scored their first goal to make the score 3-1 – another goal for Benfica at this point could have meant victory for Benfica as they would have had the advantage of the away goals.
Liverpool soon put any signs of danger to bed as Torres lifted home a sublime finish over the goalkeeper to give The Reds a 5-3 aggregate win and a place in the semi-finals of the Europa League.
Benetiz said:
“It was a good game and because the other team was very good you can say four goals was a fantastic performance, but I think we have played better this season. Any win is important, especially at this stage of a competition. If we can get to the final and win the final we will be very pleased. Hopefully we can play well, score goals, get closer to the top four and get to the final.”
Liverpool could now potentially face Atletico Madrid, the former club of Fernando Torres.
