In the previous post we have discussed about how Villarreal stunned the Italian heavyweights Juventus at their home and marched forward to the quarterfinals of the UEFA Champions League. In the quarterfinals they were facing the mighty Bayern Munich. As a result no one gave them a chance. However, in the first leg itself the minnows again created an upset when they beat the German giants 1-0. But, still everyone expected that Munich will definitely make a comeback in their home leg and would march into the semi-finals. In the 52nd minute of the game, Lewandowski scored the opening goal and the aggregate score now read 1-1. However in the 88th minute of the game, Samuel Chukwueze scored the equalizer and the minnows were leading the tie again. Munich failed to score a second goal and were thus knocked out of the Champions League. The impossible was done.
In the semi-finals, the Villarreal side faced Liverpool. Against the English giants Villarreal tried their best, but failed to reach into the finals of the UEFA Champions League. Even though they were knocked out by the Liverpool, but still their journey in the Champions League is nothing less than a fairytale.
