Tooor for Villarreal CF, 0-1 by Gerard Moreno
Gerard Moreno, who has just come on as a substitute, stops on the approach, but doesn’t look out for Szczęsny. He shoots flat to the right. The goalkeeper jumps into the right corner, puts both hands on the ball and it still goes into the goal next to the post.
77
22:34
Szymon Marciniak awarded a penalty. Due to the clear touch, this is absolutely justifiable.
76
22:34
Coquelin goes into the penalty area at Juve. Rugani takes a long step and misses the ball. Coquelin gratefully accepts the leg and falls to the ground. The referee doesn’t give a penalty at first and then looks at it again on the monitor.
75
22:32
In Gerard Moreno, Villareal now have a real striker on the pitch. The Spaniard is coming off an injury. But he is usually one of the most important players for the Spaniards.

Gerard Moreno comes on at Villarreal CF

Substitution at Villarreal CF for Giovani Lo Celso
72
10:30 p.m
It’s obvious that neither team wants to make a mistake. The game is characterized by caution and therefore offers hardly any scoring opportunities in this second half. It already smells a bit like overtime.
69
22:27
Villareal has finally freed itself from the grip again. There was no chance to score. Nevertheless, such relief is important for the guests.
68
22:25
Locatelli takes a volley from the edge of the penalty area. But he doesn’t hit the ball fully. The shot hops past the goal on the right.
66
22:23
Unai Emery reacts to the ever-increasing pressure from Juventus with the double change. The Italians have been tying the visitors into their own half for some time. The goal chances are still missing, but are probably only a matter of time.
65
22:22
Samuel Chukwueze comes on at Villarreal CF

Substitution at Villarreal CF with Trigueros
62
22:19
Now Villareal pushes something back out again. The pressure from the Bianconeri has probably gotten too much for them in the last few minutes.
60
22:18
Cuadrado with the next long-range shot for Juve. The right foot pulls from the left to the middle and then shoots from 25 meters to the short corner. His half-high shot misses half a meter to the left.
59
22:16
Rabiot has the first real finish of the second half. The Frenchman simply takes a shot from a central position of 25 meters with his left. He hits the ball very well with the full instep. But his shot is a bit too misplaced. Rulli fists the ball away.
57
10:15 p.m
Villareal are about 25 meters from their own goal with a closely spaced 4-4-2. Juve is working on this massive defensive. The home side are currently unable to find a gap.
55
22:13
The second half took over the leisurely pace of the last minutes of the first half. The game takes place almost exclusively between the penalty areas.
53
22:11
Villareal have some space on the counterattack. Danjuma tries to lift the ball over de Light just before the penalty area. The defender smelled the rat and gets the ball.
50
22:07
Villareal also registers in the second half. Trigueros has some space in the center and wants to push through to Danjuma. Pass and run do not match. The ball goes out of the goal.
47
22:06
The second half begins the same as the first. Cuadrado sends a cross in from the right. Rulli clears with two fists. Off the ball, Morata goes down and wants a penalty. But that’s wishful thinking.
46
22:02
Kick-off 2nd half
45
21:51
mid-term conclusion
Juventus and Villareal go into the break without goals. At the beginning, Turin retreated deep into their own half and let the guests have the ball. From the 10th minute, however, Juventus kept creating dangerous chances. Cuadrado in particular caused problems for Villareal down the right. The home side should have taken the lead after chances. But they weren’t ripped off enough. But the Spaniards were by no means without a chance. They kept putting pinpricks and also appeared dangerously in front of the Juve goal. Unai Emery still has to come up with something for the second half. Again Juve will not leave so many opportunities.
45
21:47
Juve still have a corner. Cuadrado pulls the ball on goal from the left. The game device lands on the far post on the net.
44
21:45
The home side head again from the corner, but Villareal block the shot and immediately counterattack. At the end of the attack, Danjuma goes into the box on the left and loses the ball to a Juve defender.
43
21:44
Yeremy wants to head back to his goalie. He completely fails. The ball goes out of goal and Juve take a corner.
40
21:41
The game takes a short break just before halftime. The intensity has decreased a bit in the last five minutes.
38
21:39
Juventus are doing really well in this first half. The only thing missing from the Italian game is a goal. But Villareal is by no means without a chance. The guests also have their offensive actions.
35
21:37
At the corner there is the next good chance for Turin. At the far post, Vlahović heads in from close range, but Rulli gets his arms up quickly enough and deflects the ball.
34
21:36
Arthur has considered a free-kick variant. He stops the run-up, then Morata runs into the penalty area at the near post and gets the ball in the run. Villareal clears the corner.
33
21:35
Cuadrado dribbles towards the penalty area on the right. He then plays a one-two with Morata 25 yards from goal and is brought down by Estupiñán. There is a free kick for that.
31
21:33
Danjuma delivers a low cross to Lo Celso from the left. The attacker shoots himself. As a result, the ball lands in the backcourt with Capoue, who pulls it off directly. His powerful shot misses the goal two meters to the left.
29
21:31
The corner brings danger. Capoue doesn’t get the header on goal. Instead, the ball lands on the left of Aurier’s penalty area. The Frenchman doesn’t get his feet sorted quickly enough and has to get the ball under control first. This wastes the opportunity. Cuadrado intervenes and clarifies.
28
21:29
Villareal overplays Juve’s pressing well. Capoue has a little space on the right. From the half field he brings a low cross into the middle, which is cleared by a Juve defender to the corner.
25
21:26
Juventus Turin is now also good at counterpressing. The old lady settles first in the opposing half.
23
21:25
Villareal have a good response to Juve’s attack. Lo Celso pulls from a central position of 20 meters with his left. His flick goes a few centimeters past the left post.
22
21:24
Now there are chances every minute. This time De Sciglio brings a low cross from the left into the middle. Morata pulls directly from the left pentagon with the left. The ball flies against the crossbar and from there out of the danger zone. Lucky for Villareal.
20
21:22
Vlahović has the next goal for the home side. On the counter, Morata plays a strong pass from the turn into Vlahović’s run. The striker approaches the penalty area with a defender in front of him. He pulls from 20 meters half-right position with the left inside. His Schlenzer is too unplaced. Rulli deflects the shot.
19
21:19
Juventus have had two really big opportunities. Villareal can be happy that it is still a draw after almost 20 minutes.
17
21:19
Cuadrado swings a corner in from the right. The second ball lands on the edge of the penalty area at Locatelli. The six pulls off with full span. But his shot is blocked and ends up in Rulli’s arms.
14
21:17
Turin has the next big chance. Vlahović tries to pass the ball on to Morata with his heel in the penalty area. Via detours, the ball lands freely on the right side of the sixteen. Morata and Cuadrado run up and want to pull away. The latter has the better position. Morata notices that too, but by then it’s already too late. He pulls back at the last moment. Cuadrado, completely surprised, lobs the ball a meter into the air and Villareal clears it.
11
21:13
Almost the lead for Juve! Again, Cuadrado brings a cross from the right into the penalty area. This time the ball hits Morata’s head, who heads at goal from seven yards. Rulli defends the ball strongly. Morata then gets another chance to shoot, but this time the goalkeeper catches the ball.
9
21:11
Villareal have been very patient so far. Juve lets the Spaniards do as much as possible. The hosts then snap close to their own penalty area.
7
21:08
Cuadrado brings a half-high cross into the middle from the right half field. Morata narrowly misses the ball. If the striker gets there, it’s probably 1-0.
5
21:07
Villareal also dares to go forward for the first time after five minutes. When the quick counterattack doesn’t work, the yellow guys turn away. This is followed by a longer ball possession phase in Juve’s half without any risk of scoring.
3
21:04
Cuadrado plays a good pass into the penalty area on Morata on the right. In a duel with Pau Torres, however, he is left behind. The central defender wins the ball.
2
21:03
The game starts more leisurely than the first leg a few weeks ago. At that time, Juve had already led 1-0 after a minute.
20:19
Unai Emery makes three changes for the visitors in contrast to last Saturday’s 1-0 win over Celta Vigo. Alfonso Pedraza is replaced in left-back by Pervis Estupiñán. Étienne Capoue starts in central midfield today. Vicente Iborra first takes a seat on the bench. Also, Yeremy starts on the wing in place of Samuel Chukwueze.
20:18
Allegri makes two changes to Juve’s starting XI since last Saturday’s 3-1 win over Sampdoria. Mattia De Sciglio starts in left-back instead of Luca Pellegrini. Shooting star Dušan Vlahović starts up front today. For this, Moise Kean rotates onto the bench.
20:17
Villareal should be quite happy with the way the season has gone so far. Although the club is currently only seventh in La Liga and thus outside the European places, they are only four points short of the Europa League and only six to the premier class. Unai Emery’s side have lost just one of their last eight competitive games. Still, progressing today would be a huge surprise.
20:17
Juve has had a mixed season so far. In the league, the old lady is only fourth. They are seven points behind leaders Milan. Recently, however, the form curve was pointing upwards. After the 1-1 draw at Villareal at the end of February, Massimiliano Allegri’s side have won four competitive games in a row. Álvaro Morata in particular has attracted attention with three goals in the last two games.
20:16
Hello and welcome to the Champions League Round of 16. Today at 9 p.m. Juventus welcome FC Villareal to the second leg. The first leg between the two teams ended 1-1.
