On the opposite side, Villarreal showed determination and careful preparation. In the 8th minute, Arnaut Danjuma turned a teammate’s previously unsatisfactory shot into an opportunity, slamming into the shot to beat goalkeeper Manuel Neuer in the 8th minute.
Possessing more of the ball, but Lewandowski and his teammates played very stalemate, almost unable to create any truly remarkable situations during the first half.
Even the ball hit the visitors’ net again in the 41st minute. Francis Coquelin’s cross effort accidentally turned into a bridged shot towards the far post that made Neuer give up. But luck is on Bayern’s side. Before scoring, the home team’s midfielder was in an offside position
Results Villarreal vs Bayern Munich: “Golden Submarine” won well

10 minutes later, the striker wearing the number 7 shirt had a great opportunity to increase the gap. The high mistake and missed pass of goalkeeper Neuer helped Moreno immediately make a European shuttlecock kick from the middle of the field towards the empty goal. However, the ball went overspin and missed the goal a little bit
