Surprise at the Allianz Arena. Samuel Chukwueze made it 1-0 at 88 minutes in favor of Villarreal vs. Bayern Munich for the second leg of the Champions League.
In a Villarreal that made no changes to the eleven compared to the first leg, once again the Spanish international striker created danger just before half-time with a shot that hit the outside of the net.
Between both actions, the ‘Yellow Submarine’ showed defensive solidity to counteract the offensive power of a Bayern that came out with all its attacking men
With two minutes remaining in a game that was headed for extra time, in a dizzying counterattack, Samu Chukwueze, who had come on from the bench, finished off first to beat Manuel Neuer and go down in the history of the Castellón club.
Villareal vs. Bayern Munich: the ‘Yellow Submarine’ in ‘semis
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.
Ladies and gentlemen, the goal that could be HISTORIC for Villarreal. Chukwueze made it 1-1 and 2-1 on aggregate against Bayern Munich and is qualifying for the Champions League semi-finals.pic.twitter.com/FYN5B0VyOt
