We dominated them for much of the game but it matters little because we are eliminated.' At the end we missed that second goal. With our performance today you saw the emotions and the good tactics we played. 'You clearly are not ready to be in charge of Bayern, and today we paid for it. It counts as one of my top three defeats. 'Hey man, this is the coach's fault,' a third user added.

If Liverpool can see out their 3-1 advantage against Benfica they will face Villarreal in the Champions League semi-final.

The final at the Stade de France in Paris is set for May 28th. There’s also the small matter of Benfica, underdogs with nothing to lose and everything to gain, who could write their names into the history books of the Champions League with a comeback against Liverpool under the Anfield lights. Bayern, meanwhile, are nine points clear in Germany.

Samuel Chukwueze scored a late winner in the tie as Villarreal stunned Bayern Munich to reach the Champions League semi-finals for the first time in 16 ...

First Juventus, now Bayern Munich. Villarreal is proving to be the giant killer in this season's Champions League.

In all, Bayern outshot Villarreal 23-4 and outpossessed the visitor 68%-32% as part of a one-sided statistical performance. Villarreal in Spain on Arnaut Danjuma’s goal, and perhaps even more surprisingly was held scoreless in the first half of the second leg at home. Villarreal withstood a barrage of chances and picked its spots wisely, and it moves onto the semifinals, where it’ll face Liverpool unless Benfica can overturn a 3–1 aggregate deficit at Anfield on Wednesday.

Lewandowski, Neuer, Müller and Gnabry will surely not all sign new deals but Nagelsmann looks safe despite tactical flaw.

Kahn will be expected to act decisively to move on from the disappointment – although Nagelsmann, a long-term project for the club, is likely to be safe. It’s the policy that led to Niklas Süle signing for Borussia Dortmund from this summer – much to Nagelsmann’s displeasure – and has always been thus at Bayern, with that willingness to set limits prompting the exits of Toni Kroos and David Alaba in the past, for example. There is a need, as Nagelsmann has agreed with the club’s decision makers, for a big defensive restructure. Personnel is the main issue, and the main mitigating factor for the coach. Losing Gnabry, the present and the future at 26, is unthinkable. “I’ve been asked the question 1,734 times in the last few weeks,” he said after a recent draw at Hoffenheim. When it mattered, his team were too easy to cut through, while lacking attacking fluency with Leroy Sané and Serge Gnabry not in their best form.

Bayern Munich were last crowned champions in 2020, but how many times have the Bundesliga giants won Europe's most historic competition?

Robert Lewandowski has scored 68 goals in 77 appearances in the Champions League for Bayern and is showing no signs of slowing down. Their next win came in the 2000/01 season, edging out Valencia on penalties. However, they have suffered losses as well, most notably in the 1998-99 final as Manchester United scored two injury-time goals to snatch a victory in Barcelona.

Under a sky of blue and field of green, Villarreal -- affectionately known as the "Yellow Submarine" due to its luminescent yellow kit -- sunk Bayern Munich ...

The Yellow Submarine is flying high in Europe's top club competition after ending Juventus' run in the round-of-16 and now Bayern Munich's hopes of a seventh Champions League. The Spanish club will now face either Liverpool or Benfica in the semifinals. "It's an extraordinary feeling, it was not easy for us. Then, early in the second half, Bayern finally broke through the Spanish side's steadfast defense when Robert Lewandowski scored his 13th Champions League goal of the campaign to equalize the tie on aggregate.

Villarreal players were critical of Bayern Munich coach Julian Nagelsmann for failing to respect the Spanish outfit.

We are here because we have a solid project. We knew it would be a very difficult challenge as they are amongst the best teams in the world, but faith moves mountains." "We are going to enjoy the semifinals," Villarreal coach Unai Emery said after Tuesday's game.

The "Yellow Submarine" has claimed another of Europe's elite sides as Villarreal continue their run and make Bayern rue some missed opportunities.

Despite an array of attacking talent which saw them come out with five forwards, Bayern couldn't break through and Villarreal had the best first-half chances -- both wasted by Danjuma and Gerard Moreno. But when Robert Lewandowski put Bayern ahead and levelled the aggregate scores by finishing off a Thomas Muller pass on 52 minutes, it seemed inevitable that the home side would surge to the victory by exploiting gaps in the Villarreal defence. At one point in the first-half, every Villarreal player was behind the eighteen-yard line as they attempted to frustrate Bayern, and the tactic worked. Arnaut Danjuma's goal in the first-leg -- Francis Coquelin had another goal ruled out by VAR -- gave Villarreal a slender advantage going into this game and it seemed an impossible task for Emery's side considering that Bayern, with 30 goals in the competition this season prior to kick-off, were the top scorers in the Champions League by some distance, with Manchester City in second place on 24 goals. They are hard-working and committed and they have a taste for upsetting European football royalty. Emery's team stunned Juventus in Turin to eliminate the Italian giants in the Round of 16 and they have now beaten Bayern. And Villarreal are what they have always been, a team that punches way above their weight.

Samuel Chukwueze's goal two minutes from time sent Villarreal through to the Champions League semi-finals at the expense of Bayern Munich.

He and Lewandowski had a running battle on and off the ball, which could have seen the Polish striker sent off for a second bookable offence, but equally frustrating as any dark arts was the way the Ballon d'Or favourite barely got any space over the 180 minutes bar his goal. Raul Albiol (Villarreal) - It was a defensive performance it was from the whole Villarreal side and of course Emery deserves a great deal of praise for the tactics employed, but the Yellow Submarine skipper was a lion at the back. Bayern had their chances in the second half, but to keep them so stifled in front of their home fans for the opening 45 minutes was remarkable.

"All that we see right now might be the well-known game of exploring options." Reports speak of Bayern demanding 60 million euros for a deal this summer and Barca offering between 25 and 30 million.

It is really possible that he leaves the club this summer or as a free agent in 2023 - the worst case scenario for the club.

"Barcelona are not able to pay high fees but high salaries. "We would be stupid to sell a player who scores 30 to 40 goals per season.

In fact, per Sport Bild (as captured by @iMiaSanMia), Lewandowski thinks there is a direct correlation between the delay in his contract negotiations starting and the club’s alleged interest in the Norwegian sensation. - VfB Stuttgart’s Sasa Kalajdzic — €20 million - Red Salzburg’s Benjamin Sesko — €16 million to €40 million*

The 33-year-old striker's current deal with the club expires in the summer of 2023 and he has been linked with a move to the Catalan giants in recent weeks.

In terms of intensity, it was the best game in recent months. Good counter-pressing, also a lot of intensity when running.' Reports in Poland earlier in the week suggested Lewandowski had told the Bundesliga champions' chief executive Kahn he planned to leave and had agreed personal terms with Barcelona.

Antony is not the only wide forward that Barcelona are targeting. Barça seemed the favourites to sign Mazraoui on a free transfer this summer when his contract with Ajax ran out. The Brazilian winger has been a revelation since arriving at the Dutch outfit back in 2020.

That did not sit well with Villarreal at all. “I think their coach, who I don't know personally, showed a lack of respect towards Villarreal and towards ...

“We are not here to be told how nice we are, that we come from a small town. Finally, Villarreal manager Unai Emery is using the old “nobody believes in us” tactic to keep his squad fired up. Since we found out that we were facing Bayern, we said to ourselves that it was possible, that we could do it.

Potentially one of the biggest shocks in this season's Champions League occurred last night when Bayern Munich were eliminated by Villarreal.

With him on the wing, Bayern are much more effective. Ideally, Bayern have a fit Alphonso Davies on the pitch. “Should Lewandowski really go, would it make sense to rebuild more extensively or not? However, it still appears to be a work in progress according to Hlusiak. “In Villarreal they had a really bad evening and could actually be happy that they only lost 1-0. “Bayern failed to get Lewandowski into the game properly in both legs.

BAYERN MUNICH 1-1 VILLARREAL (1-2 on aggregate): Substitute Samuel Chukwueze netted the late decisive goal for Unai Emery's side to stun Bayern Munich in ...

The caveat to that was that each of those ties was in the Europa League, with Emery’s only previous Champions League experience being the underwhelming Paris Saint-Germain stint. Excluding that spell in Paris, Emery has now won 22 two-legged knockout ties across Sevilla, Arsenal and Villarreal – with this achievement his finest yet. As Bayern boss Julian Nagelsmann said after that first leg: “They made the mistake of letting us live.” As it turned out, Emery's team managed to do just enough over the tie as they became clinical in Germany - scoring from their one shot on target. Lewandowski plundered 13 goals in the competition this season and had been aiming to replicate his stunning return of 15 in the successful 2019/20 campaign. They were seventh in La Liga last season and that is their position again – yet their campaign in continental football has been even better. However, a direct counter-attack from the visitors in the 89 th minute culminated in Gerard Moreno’s threaded ball through to substitute Chukwueze – whose shot beat Manuel Neuer and decided the tie.

A 10th straight Bundesliga title won't erase the sting of a quarterfinal exit to Villarreal—something that's not lost on manager Julian Nagelsmann.

That was clear in the Premier League game between Manchester City and Liverpool on Sunday. But Bayern is largely untested at home and meets that sort of challenge infrequently. There is a dependence on Robert Lewandowski, who will be out of contract after next season and has so far refused to sign a new deal, with CEO Oliver Kahn moved to dispute swirling reports that the Polish star will leave. Regardless, the Bayern hierarchy is not habitually patient. It’s a small sample size and managing Bayern is different from managing Hoffenheim or Leipzig. But the initial evidence is not encouraging. It remains a fine attacking side, and the margins are fine. Perhaps Bayern will reason that he is still young and his side will still win the Bundesliga. It’s likely the club will give him another chance. And how does it deal with the fallout of quarterfinal disappointment in the form of a 2–1 aggregate defeat to Villarreal, the seventh-placed team in La Liga? Hansi Flick, who had led Bayern to the Champions League the season before, left at the end of last season to take over as Germany’s national team manager and was replaced by Julian Nagelsmann. “To be honest, this is one of the worst three defeats of my career,” Nagelsmann said after Tuesday’s defeat. As Bayern played a back three, Salzburg, again and again, got in behind the wingbacks. This is certainly one of the three toughest occasions.” How does it deal with an opponent it cannot just overwhelm, particularly in the pressure of a knockout tie?

Bayern Munich have won just six of their last 12 games following Tuesday's costly draw with Villarreal that saw them exit the Champions League, ...

That is a problem that may get worse before it gets better. In truth, other more senior players failed to turn up on the night. "If you look at our performance today - tactically good by the way, defensively and offensively - it puts the first leg in a worse light." They managed just four shots on target across the 90 minutes, with many of their efforts coming from distance. It was also telling that Nagelsmann waited until the 82nd minute to make a substitution, introducing Serge Gnabry from the bench in a sign that he is neither happy with the form of the ex-Arsenal man, nor the strength in depth of his squad. The 34-year-old has regularly spoken of his players not being at their "peak" in recent weeks, but it is becoming clear that the peak of Nagelsmann's first season in charge came back in the early weeks of winter.

Former Gunners boss Emery has the opportunity to take them a step further, even as they sit well off the pace in La Liga having won just 12 of their 31 league games this campaign. After the final whistle, Capoue said: "When the draw came out and Villarreal played, [Bayern's] coach disrespected not Villarreal but football by saying that he wanted to settle the tie in the first leg. That is exactly what they did in the first leg when Arnaut Danjuma converted their only shot on target to send them to Munich with a 1-0 lead.
