Former Arsenal manager Unai Emery pulled off a huge upset on Tuesday night as his Villarreal side held Bayern Munich to a 1-1 draw in Germany, booking their place in the Champions League semi-finals 2-1 on aggregate. It is the latest in a series of impressive feats achieved since he was sacked as Arsenal boss and replaced by Mikel Arteta.
Villarreal only found themselves in the Champions League this season after Emery led them to Europa League glory last season, the fourth time he had won the trophy. He even beat Arteta's side en route to the final against Manchester United and while he has gone deep into Europe again, Arsenal watch on.
Emery was brought to the Emirates Stadium as Arsene Wenger's replacement, a task that was always going to be incredibly tough. The Spaniard ultimately inherited an out-of-sorts squad and unfairly became a figure of ridicule in the process.
