At the corner, Raúl Albiol impetuously goes into an aerial duel against Müller. There’s a free kick for that.

45

21:46

Official injury time (minutes): 2

45

21:46

Capoue beats Upamecano very easily in the centre. Then he deducts from the edge of the penalty area. Pavard gets his foot in between. There is a corner for the hosts.

43

21:43

Bayern are lucky that Villareal’s goal doesn’t count. A 2-0 at break would not have been undeserved.

41

21:42

VAR’s decision: F. Coquelin (Villarreal CF) will not be allowed to score, score 1-0

40

21:40

Davies puts Foyth through well on the left. But then Lo Celso comes to the rescue and the ball rolls out of the goal. At Villareal, everyone is currently working for everyone.

38

21:38

Bayern is now gaining security through possession of the ball. So far there hasn’t been a goal threat, but at least they don’t have to chase the Spaniards when combining.

35

21:35

Coman rushes into Coquelin in midfield. Free kick for Villareal. Both players stay put. It was probably knee to knee. It hurts, but both can move on.

33

21:33

Bayern finally plays a long ball into Müller’s path. The German may be offside, but this way the Spaniards’ defense can be cracked.

32

21:32

The pass quality of the home side has been outstanding so far. Under extreme pressure from the opponent, the men in yellow usually play difficult passes right into the opponent’s foot.

30

21:31

After a corner from Villareal, Lo Celso gets a volley from long range and gets the studs on his foot from Ganbry. Anthony Taylor keeps going. Shortly thereafter, Davies puts the ball in and Lo Celso gets a little time to pull himself together.

28

21:29

Bayern finally have some space because Upamecano plays a good half-up pass to the right to Coman. Müller starts in the penalty area and gets the ball from the French. He plays in the backcourt, from where Hernández deducts. His shot flies clearly to the right.

27

21:27

The ball safety of the Spaniards is impressive. Bayern’s pressing keeps coming up empty.

26

21:26

So far, Bayern have not been able to play high balls behind Villareal’s back four. Upamecano and Hernández mainly play flat short passes.

23

21:23

Kimmich puts a volley from 25 meters clearly to the left of the goal. Bayern haven’t had any great chances so far, but the home side’s defense seems anything but insurmountable.

21

21:22

Musiala starts with a good start in the direction of the penalty area and then uses Gnabry well, who pulls into the penalty area. Raúl Albiol starts a high-risk tackle, but only plays the ball and thus prevents the promising action.

20

21:20

Villareal plays a classic 4-4-2 against the ball. That could require a lot of patience from FCB.

18

21:18

FC Bayern’s pressing has been higher since the goal was conceded. Now the defenders are also consistently put under pressure.

17

21:17

Capoue plays a good through ball to Gerard Moreno who might have been caught offside. But Musiala was careful and ran the ball.

15

21:16

Dani Parejo brings a free-kick cross into the middle from the left. A deflected header from Villareal lands in Neuer’s arms.

14

21:14

The Spaniards sometimes play cat and mouse with Bayern in midfield. Munich’s pressing has not been well coordinated so far. Villareal always forms good triangles and breaks away from pressure situations with clean passing.

13

21:13

The German record champion tries to react quickly to the goal. But Villareal stays cool and slows down for now.

11

21:12

When the goal was conceded, the assignment at Bayern was not correct. Among other things, Musiala, who was surprisingly set up instead of Goretzka, did not get into the duel.

21:08

Arnaut Danjuma

Tooor for Villarreal CF, 1-0 through Arnaut Danjuma

And suddenly the outsider leads. The Spaniards combine well through midfield. From the right flank, Gerard Moreno plays a good pass to the baseline on Lo Celso. The Argentine brings the ball low towards the penalty spot. Dani Parejo stands there and pulls straight away. Danjuma is right in the line of fire and sticks his left foot in. The ball goes flat next to the right post into the goal.

7

21:07

Bayern only starts pressing in midfield. In defense, Bayern let the yellow submarine play undisturbed.

6

21:07

Musiala tries from a distance. His shot is blocked and lands on the right at Pavard, who also shoots. The ball goes a few meters over the goal.

6

21:06

Villareal have some space in the counterattack but the home side don’t play it well. There would have been more.

5

21:05

Gnabry goes right into the penalty area and then plays Musiala. The German puts another one on Kimmich, who deducts from a central position of twelve meters. His shot is blocked.

3

21:04

Villareal breaks away with a beautiful combination of Bavarian midfield pressing. The Spaniards can definitely do something with the ball.

21:01

The ball rolls in the Estadio de la Cerámica. A few thousand Bayern fans traveled to Spain. The mood of the 23,500 spectators is excellent.

20:19

Julian Nagelsmann also changes three positions at FC Bayern in contrast to the win against Freiburg. Alphonso Davies has recovered from heart disease. He starts at the back left. Lucas Hernández moves to central defense and Tanguy Nianzou Kouassi rotates to the bench. In central midfield, Jamal Musiala is preferred to Leon Goretzka. Serge Gnabry also starts on the wing for Leroy Sané.

20:15

Unai Emery makes three changes at Villareal in the wake of Saturday’s 2-0 defeat by Levante. Estupiñán starts in left-back instead of Pedraza. Coquelin starts in central midfield. Trigueros takes a seat on the bench for this. In the offensive row of three, Lo Celso starts for Yeremy.

20:09

FC Bayern completed the mandatory task against RB Salzburg in the round of 16. The record champions did not get beyond a 1-1 draw in Austria in the first leg. At home, however, RB was then dealt with 7: 1. In the league, Munich recently showed dominant performances again. They won 4-0 against Union and 4-1 against SC Freiburg. The only small drawback was the error in substitution on Saturday, which determined the reporting in the past few days. Now one is glad that it continues sporty. The personnel situation at FCB is currently comfortable. Only Corentin Tolisso and Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting are missing.

20:08

Surprisingly, Villareal knocked out Juventus in the round of 16. Unai Emery’s team won the second leg in Turin 3-0 after a 1-1 draw in the first leg. So Bayern has been warned. Despite losing twice in a row in La Liga, Villareal are known for their strong performances in knockout games. The yellow submarine only plays in the Champions League because it won the Europa League last year. On the way to the cup, they defeated Arsenal and Manchester United, among others. For Emery it was already the fourth title in the Euro League.

20:07

Hello and welcome to the quarter-final first leg of the Champions League. Today at 9 p.m. FC Villareal welcomes FC Bayern.
