BAYERN MUNICH have work to do in the second leg if they are to avoid the same fate as Juventus against Villarreal.
Just minutes into the game, Arnaut Danjuma latched onto a brilliant cross from Giovani Lo Celso to give the Spaniards the victory.
In the last 16, Villarreal pulled off the shock of the round when they thrashed Juventus 4-1 over the two legs.
The defining moment

Villarreal may rue their missed chances in front of goal.
Bayern only need to score one to level… in Munich.
See you then!
Villarreal victorious
Wow, take a breather. That was an electric second half. Chances, missed chances, and more missed chances…
The Spanish side are thoroughly deserving of their win this evening. They will only be disappointed they didn’t score more after creating a multitude of opportunities, only one of which they could convert.
Bayern were poor for long periods of the game. Their key men struggled to combine to create chances in the final third, and they left themselves open at the back. 36-year-old Albiol rolled back the years against Lewandowski, as his side were able to keep out the German champions all night long. They are lucky to only be one behind in the tie.
Advantage Emery.

86, Villarreal with the chance of the match!
Capoue does brilliantly to win the ball back in his own half, before driving forward and playing in Lo Celso. Pedrazza makes the overlapping run, and Lo Celso finds him. The substitute has the entire goal to aim at but slices it high and wide. Another Villarreal chance goes begging.

78, Goretzka is surrounded in the box and falls to the floor. Lots of penalty appeals from players in red, but he looks to fall into Albiol. It’s desperate from Bayern, in truth.
Coman then rifles a ball across the box, but Foyth gets in the way.

Estupinan is booked for taking too long.
The way they are playing, there really is no need for time wasting.

So many chances.. So many missed! incredibly, Villarreal will be disappointed.

Moreno slides the ball into the Dutchman with the whole goal to aim up. He takes a touch before missing the ball entirely.

Danjuma gets in behind and slides a ball across to Moreno with the outside of his boot. But a sliding Davies does enough to stop an otherwise certain goal. Great effort from the full back.
