Villarreal goalkeeper Geronimo Rulli had a night to forget in his side’s 3-2 loss to Liverpool in the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals.

Liverpool will now face either La Liga winners Real Madrid or current Premier League leaders Manchester City in the final on May 28 in Paris, France.
