Jurgen Klopp's side took down Villarreal 3-2 on the day and 5-2 on aggregate, and James was ready to celebrate as he watched on from the United States.

What did James say?
Shortly after the full-time whistle, James took to Twitter to revel in the Reds' win.

The Los Angeles Lakers star tweeted, "PARIS HERE WE COME!", as Liverpool will face either Manchester City or Real Madrid in the finale at Stade de France in the French capital.

He also posted a picture of himself smiling while wearing a Liverpool tracksuit, under the caption: "MOOD!!!!!!"
