As for past losses, Bayern Munich could consider themselves unlucky due to referee decisions, personal mistakes and other general misfortunes.
Results
Arnaut Danjuma was the hero as Villarreal produced a brilliant performance to beat Bayern Munich 1–0 in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-final match.
It was widely speculated that Bayern would prevail, but Villarreal worked hard to lock down their opponents and limit the threat to the likes of Robert Lewandowski.
Villarreal himself got plenty of openings, with a goal from Francis Coquelin being denied for offside, while Gerard Moreno hit the post and Alfonso Pedraza missed a good chance.
Bayern will be extremely disappointed with their performance but determined to respond in the second leg at the Allianz Arena.
Highlights
Unai Emery’s side was extremely well organized, with players like Ral Albiol and Pau Torres diligently defending.
Albiol used his experience as he read the game excellently and made it difficult for Lewandowski to get too many touches in the penalty area.
Meanwhile, Torres continues to excel and it is no surprise that he is being linked to clubs like Manchester United. The Spain international is fearless and has demonstrated tonight that he is capable of performing extremely well even when he is up against some exceptional attacking players in world football.
Analysis
On a tough night for Bayern, there was at least one positive to take from proceedings, with Alphonso Davies making his first appearance since December, having been diagnosed with mild myocarditis in January.
It would inevitably take time for Davis to return to full sharpness, but he made some encouraging blasts on the left flank, while on another occasion he reacted quickly to reduce the threat.
Bayern expect Davies to be able to play a major role in the remainder of the season, including in the second leg against Villarreal.
