Villarreal stunned Bayern Munich in the Champions League quarter-final with Samuel Chukwueze’s late goal sending the Spanish side through to the last four at the expense of the German champions.
The Spanish side led 1-0 from the first leg thanks to Arnaut Danjuma’s first half goal – in a game which they feared they may have come to regret not winning by more. Francis Coquelin’s goal was disallowed in that game over a narrow offside decision while full-back Alfonso Pedraza blazed a glorious late chance wide of target.
The first half in Munich was somewhat of a non-event with the Yellow Submarine entirely snubbing out the attacking threat from the hosts. However, Bayern played with a different intensity and purpose after the break and Lewandowski broke the deadlock in the 49 th minute. However, a direct counter-attack from the visitors in the 89 th minute culminated in Gerard Moreno’s threaded ball through to substitute Chukwueze – whose shot beat Manuel Neuer and decided the tie.
