Match Facts |

After claiming one of the most memorable results in their recent history in the first quarter, Villarreal travel to Bavaria to face Bayern Munich in the second quarter of the Champions League quarter-final on Tuesday night.
With either Benfica or Liverpool awaiting victory in the semi - finals, Unai Emery's team is on a 1-0 lead from the first quarter. The yellow flags were out in full force at La Ceramica last week, but many fans believe that despite Villarreal winning by a goal at night in Danjuma's close-range finish, the yellow submarine's score line was not exactly reflected. Dominance.
Emery's team wasted several chances to equalize in the first quarter, but Gerard Moreno hit the post and failed to get Manuel Neuer out of the half, but a 1-0 lead against the Bavarians was no different. It smells good. In the latest Bundesliga clash against Augsburg, Julian Nagelsmann's team can only win on that score line - relying on a penalty in the 82nd minute from someone other than Robert Lewandowski - to feel confident of losing the Champions League for the first time since 2017. To an extent.
Also, Bayern have not conceded a first-quarter defeat in the Champions League since the 2014-15 season, and ironically, all four of their eliminations after the first leg defeat have been against teams from La Liga - too. Definitely a good omen for the caravan. However, the Nagelsmans' team enters Tuesday's game with five of their last six home games victories.
The former Arsenal boss 'move to Champions League football has been hampered by another Europa League victory for Unai Emery following Juventus' elimination from the tournament. Some were unjustly written off before the first ball was kicked in the ceramic, only 90 minutes before reaching the second Champions League semi-final in Villarreal's history, before they fell to Arsenal in 2005-06. .
Taking just one point from their last nine in La Liga does them no good internally, as they beat Emery's team 1-1 at Athletic Bilbao over the weekend, although the Spaniards decided to make 11 changes for that. The second quarter is a game with that in mind.
Not likely to make the top six in the La Liga table for the week, Villarreal will be forced to return to the Champions League route next time they return to Continental action, but each of the last three champions will be well-placed in the league away games with 10 goals to go to the Alliance Arena. Bayern and Villarreal have only met once before at the Alliance Arena when the German team won 3-1 in the 2011-12 Champions League group stage, and such a performance should be repeated this week so as not to take another shot in Europe. Pray for glory.
Bayern Munich possible starting lineup:
Neuer; Pavard, Upamecano, Hernandez, Davies; Kimmich, Goretzka; Sane, Muller, Coman; Lewandowski
Villarreal possible starting lineup:
Rulli; Foyth, Albiol, Torres, Estupinan; Parejo, Coquelin, Capoue; Lo Celso; Moreno, Danjuma
