This week, Villarreal created the feat in the round of 16 of the Champions League by beating Juventus Turin, at home on the score of three goals to nil. Unai Emery’s men therefore qualified for the quarter-finals of the Champions League for the first time since 2009, and a double confrontation against Arsene Wenger’s Gunners. After winning the Europa League last season, the Yellow Submarine therefore confirms its good momentum.
The quarter-final draw took place this Friday in Nyon and the Spanish club was not varnished by the hands of Michael Silvestre. Indeed, Villarreal players will be opposed to those of Bayern Munich. Oliver Kahn, legendary goalkeeper of the Bavarian club believes that the Old Lady’s fallen club should not be overlooked in the previous round: “Villarreal showed in the round of 16 what they were capable of. From there, we are warned and we must approach this confrontation fully concentrated. No one should believe that these will be two easy matches. »
Villarreal hat im Achtelfinale gezeigt, zu was sie in der Lage sind. Aus diesem Grund müssen wir gewarnt sein und diese Aufgabe mit voller Konzentration angehen. Niemand darf glauben, dass das zwei einfache Spiele werden! 💪🔴⚪ #WeiterImmerWeiter #MiaSanMia #UCLdraw
