Villarreal creates "earthquake" when eliminating Bayern from Champions League

Bayern knocked out of Champions League

Villarreal created an "earthquake" in this season's Champions League when they eliminated candidate Bayern Munich right from the quarter-finals.

Villarreal excellently held the Gray Tigers to a 1-1 draw at the Allianz Arena, thereby winning 2-1 overall after two matches.

This result helps Villarreal confidently enter the semi-finals and will likely face Liverpool, the team that has the advantage of leading Benfica 3-1 in the first leg.

In the quarter-final match at Allianz Arena, Villarrel entered the match cautiously, proactively playing a multi-layered defense to wait for counterattacks when the opportunity arose.

With this style of play, the away team caused many difficulties for the home team and were unable to score even though the ball mainly rolled on Villarreal's field in the first 45 minutes.

In the second half, Bayern continued to put pressure on their opponents. They created more dangerous situations for their opponents and finally scored a goal after their opponents' mistakes.

In the 51st minute, from a wrong pass from Pau Torres, Thomas Mueller had the opportunity to make a favorable pass for Robert Lewandowski to finish dangerously, breaking the deadlock with the opening goal 1-0.

After this goal, Bayern Munich continued to push up their formation to look for a goal, as well as wanting to settle the match right in regular time.

The Gray Tigers created many opportunities but their strikers could not take advantage of them, including a regrettable miss with a header from 6 meters away that went wide of the post by Mueller.

Attacking without scoring, Bayern Munich paid a heavy price when they let their opponents equalize 1-1 through Samuel Chukwueze in a quick counter-attack.

The 1-1 draw remained after the official match time, thereby helping Villarreal eliminate Bayern with a final score of 2-1 after two matches.
