Unai Emery has appeared to aim a dig at former club Arsenal after guiding Villarreal to a Champions League quarter-final first-leg win over Bayern Munich.
Arnaut Danjuma's early goal gave the Yellow Submarine a historic first-leg victory over Bayern on Wednesday night in a game in which the Spanish side, the huge underdogs for the tie, thoroughly deserved to win. Former Arsenal midfielder Francis Coquelin had a goal disallowed for a tight offside call before the break, while Villarreal spurned a number of other presentable opportunities.
Spanish sides are once again enjoying strong campaigns in Europe – Europa League holders Villarreal are just one result away from the semi-final while Real Madrid won 3-1 at Chelsea on Wednesday night thanks to Karim Benzema's devastating hat-trick. Meanwhile, Atletico Madrid were edged out 1-0 at Man City in Tuesday night's last-eight first leg.
