Totally relaxed: Lo Celso, on top of the locker room closet after Villarreal qualification | VIDEO

Qualifying for the semifinals of the Champions League was a source of great joy for the players of the Spanish team. Once the feat was accomplished against Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena itself, there was a party atmosphere in the ‘Yellow Submarine’ dressing room. One of the most effusive, without a doubt, was Giovani Lo Celso.

The midfielder celebrated with his teammates in the locker room, jumping up and down with happiness. But the most curious thing was that Lo Celso, in a moment of total relaxation, was recorded on top of the closet intended to place the teams’ clothing. From there, the Argentine was caught lying down and holding his cell phone.

“Humility and sacrifice. Proud of this team. To ‘semis’”, wrote Lo Celso, in a post on Instagram, to celebrate the new challenge overcome with Villarreal. The South American, that is to say, started against the Bavarians and was on the field during the 90 minutes and discounts.

Villarreal hit the Champions League

Villarreal eliminated Bayern in Munich on Tuesday (1-1; 1-0 in the first leg) in the quarterfinals of the Champions League, achieving the feat of qualifying for the second time in its history for the semifinals of the highest European competition of clubs.

When the game was headed for extra time after a goal by Polish striker Robert Lewandowski in the 52nd minute after a mistake in the away ball from the visiting defense, Villarreal extended their epic in this Champions League thanks to an agonizing goal from the Nigerian midfielder Samu Chukwueze (88′) finishing a counterattack that left the Allianz Arena frozen.

The Spanish team will face Liverpool or Benfica for a place in the final. Already in his previous presence at this point in the Champions League, in 2006, the ‘Yellow Submarine’ led by the Argentine Juan Román Riquelme fell to another English team, Arsenal.
