Chukwueze fires Villarreal into UEFA Champions League semi-final

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

Unai Emery masterminded a 1-0 first-leg win in Spain, but a dominant Bayern looked seemingly in control once Robert Lewandowski broke the deadlock in the 52nd minute at the Allianz Arena.

But, with just his side’s second shot on target across both legs, Chukwueze levelled on the break in the 88th minute to give Villarreal the lead on aggregate and earn them an historic victory against the six-time European champions.

The result means Bayern Munich exit the Champions League in the quarter-finals for the second year running.

Villarreal are now into the semi-finals for the first time since 2006 and will play either Liverpool or Benfica in the last four.
