Villarreal made it clear from the beginning that they were not just making up the numbers in the Champions League quarter-final. Arnaut Danjuma deliberately deflected a Parejo shot into the net to put Villarreal 1-0 up after 10 minutes. Lucas Hernandez played Danjuma onside.

Everything seemed to indicate that Villarreal would suffer as most teams do against Bayern Munich. The La Liga side got themselves into the quarter-finals of the Champions League aware that they would be up against a free scoring Bayern.

However, things did not go as planned. From the first moment, Unai Emery played a brave formation as he looked to take charge of the game.

As a result of that, Villarreal made it 1-0 in the 8th minute. Foyth found the necessary space on the right flank, he cut back for Dani Parejo and the midfielder's wayward shot was turned in by Arnaut Danjuma. The attacker took advantage of the fact that Lucas Hernandez was playing him onside to beat Neuer from close range.

Frances Coquelin thought he had made it two just before the break, but the VAR spotted that he was offside in the build up.
