A late minute goal by Samuel Chukwueze’s goal sent Villarreal through to the Champions League semi-finals at the expense of Bayern Munich.
Villarreal’s stubborn defence kept Bayern almost chanceless in the first half but Robert Lewandowski levelled the tie on aggregate with his first chance seven minutes into the second half.
Bayern then had a wealth of possession in the Villarreal half with Thomas Muller and Dayot Upamecano missing great chances.
Extra-time loomed until on the break Gerard Moreno produced a wonderful pass to the back post where Chukwueze, who had only been on the pitch three minutes, slammed the ball home into the roof of the net.
This is Villarreal’s first Champions League semi-final in 16 years.
