Despite the victory in the first leg, coach Unai Emery from FC Villarreal still sees FC Bayern Munich as favorites in the fight for a place in the semi-finals of the Champions League.
“They are the favorites in the second leg because they have a lot of potential,” Emery said on Radio Marca on Thursday: “If we don’t call everything, then we will have little chance of progressing.”
When it was 1-0 on Wednesday evening, they managed to “minimize their virtues,” said Emery: “The wingers played more down the middle to have more possession of the ball. We sacrificed an offensive right winger to have more possession of the ball. ” Villarreal failed to gain an even bigger lead: “I’m a little annoyed that our goal tally wasn’t higher.”
