Bayern Munich will also not win the Champions League this year. It seemed at home to erase the defeat from the first leg against Villarreal, but a late equalizer by Chukwueze killed the Germans.
Bayern – Villarreal in a nutshell:
key moment: 5 minutes before the end, Nagelsmann takes Hernandez out for Davies, the young Canadian has to stop Villarreal attacker Chukwueze. That substitution turns out to be a total miscalculation because a few minutes later it is Chukwueze who kicks Villarreal towards the semi-finals.
Man of the match: Ancient warrior Raul Albiol is still one of the best central defenders in the world. The captain of Villarreal headed away every cross and kept the peace with his fellow mates.
Remarkable: Villarreal reaches the semi-finals of the Champions League for the second time in its history. The last time it collided in 2006 with Arsene Wenger’s Arsenal. Is Europa League king Unai Emery going for the big-eared cup this year?
Again sand in German machine
After the justified 1-0 defeat in the first leg in Villarreal, Bayern faced a very difficult task in their own Allianz Arena. The Germans were still a high favorite, but were unable to live up to that in the first half.
Unai Emery had once again placed his pawns excellently and Bayern did not get further than a header from Musiala. On the other side, Gerard Moreno kicked into the side net from a sharp angle.
Both teams went into halftime with a disappointing spectacle score on the board. Bayern was powerless, the tightly organized Villarreal was 45 minutes from the qualification for the semi-finals.
Invaller Chukwueze nekt Bayern
After the break, Bayern had found its highest gear after all. The pressure was fading and just before the hour Villarreal succumbed. Müller recovered and immediately found Lewandowski who made it 1-0 with a nice shot between Torres’ legs.
The visitors seemed to succumb, but found their second breath and held their own. Great opportunities were no longer enforced and 10 minutes before the end, Unai Emery turned the match upside down by bringing in Nigerian Samuel Chukwueze.
The express train forgot to offer Gerard Moreno the equalizer at first and did it itself a handful of minutes later. Alphonso Davies was nowhere to be seen and Chukwueze pushed the equalizer into the roof of the goal.
Bayern is so dripping and must focus on the title in the Bundesliga, a consolation prize after all. After winning the Europa League last season, Villarreal is now in the semi-finals of the Championship. Just like with Riquelme in 2006.

The Germans had the upper hand in the second half, but without creating much. In the final minutes, substitute Chukwueze decided the diptych. †
