Tragically, German giants Bayern Munich must be eliminated from the 2021/22 Champions League.
Bayern Munich was only able to draw 1-1 against Villarreal in the second leg of the quarter-finals.
The second leg of the UCL last eight between Bayern Munich vs Villarreal is presented at the Allianz Arena, Tuesday (12/4/2022).
This draw brought Villarreal through to the UCL semifinals after winning 2-1 on aggregate over Bayern Munich.
Bayern Munich, who lost 0-1 in the first leg, was eager to catch up.
Robert Lewandowski also had time to bring Die Roten to lead. Unfortunately, Samuel Chukwueze scored a goal at the end of the second half to bring Villarreal to win 2-1 on aggregate.
Thanks to this result, Villarreal was extraordinary entitled to advance to the semifinals to challenge the winner of the duel between Liverpool versus Benfica.
The match was tight from the start of the first half. Both Bayern Munich and Villarreal have had opportunities, unfortunately neither has scored.
Bayern Munich several times created golden opportunities to open the scoring. However, Geronimo Rulli’s slick appearance in goal kept Villarreal’s goal safe.
At the end of the first half, Villarreal twice threatened Manuel Neuer’s goal, each through the action of Arnaut Danjuma and Gerard Moreno. However, no goals have been created until halftime.
Shortly after returning from the dressing room, Rulli swiftly stopped Jamal Musiala’s movement. Bayern players had asked for a penalty, but the referee did not budge.
Bayern finally managed to break the deadlock in the 52nd minute. Starting from a counter-attack, Lewandowski fired a shot that Rulli failed to anticipate. The aggregate score is now 1-1.
Bayern Munich is also increasingly motivated to increase the advantage. On the other hand, Villarreal also did not want to lose by several times bothering the host defense.
The disaster for Bayern Munich came in the 88th minute when Chukwueze, who had just entered, managed to equalize with a first-time shot to continue Moreno’s assist.
The 1-1 score lasted until the long whistle sounded. That is, Villarreal has the right to qualify for the semifinals with a 2-1 aggregate victory.
