Liverpool vs Benfica: Luis Diaz assisted Sadio Mané who scored the second goal of the English team in the first leg for the Champions League quarter-finals that took place at the La Luz stadium in Lisbon, Portugal.

At 34 minutes into the game, Liverpool recovered the ball in the middle of the field after an error in the start of Goncalo Ramos and managed from that area the second goal of the match.

Alexander-Arnold looked up and placed Colombian Luis Díaz who was between the two central defenders of Benfica.

The Liverpool winger threw a long pass for Luis Diaz, who with effort and generosity hit the ball with his head to enable Sadio Mané who was close to the penalty spot and was speeding in. The attacker of the 'reds' defined pleasure.

Liverpool reached the quarterfinals after beating Inter Milan with an overall score of 2-1 in favor. The English won 2-0 at Giuseppe Meazza stadium in the first leg and on the second leg lost 1-0 at Anfield stadium and was enough to advance to the next round.
