Villarreal striker Gerard Moreno aimed a dig at comments from Bayern Munich boss Julian Nagelsmann in the midst of their Champions League quarter-final.
The Bayern boss said after the German champions first leg defeat in Spain that the Spanish side “made the mistake of letting us live” by only winning the game by a solitary goal. Yet Villarreal stunned Bayern once again in the second leg as Samuel Chukwueze’s late goal earned them a 1-1 draw on the night and progress through to the last four.
Moreno – who set up Chukwueze for the late winner with a perfectly-timed threat through ball – brought up Nagelsmann’s quotes after the game in a thinly-veiled dig at the German. "In the first leg we made the mistake of not finishing the tie, and all these comments serve as motivation for us. They made the mistake today of not killing us off and we took advantage of that. What this team has done is great."
