The two teams go into this tie in contrasting domestic form. Villarreal have lost two consecutive games away at Cadiz and Levante. Bayern Munich, meanwhile, have put four past both Union Berlin and Freiburg, conceding just one (against Freiburg) in the process. Bayern are nine points clear of Borussia Dortmund at the top of the Bundesliga, while Villarreal are in seventh in La Liga.
Unai Emery steered the Yellow Submarine to a shock win in last year’s Europa League, beating Manchester United on penalties in the final. They caused an upset in the previous round of this year’s Champions League too, knocking out Italian giants Juventus. Gerard Moreno, Pau Torres, and Arnaut Danjuma scored to secure a 0-3 win in Turin, 4-1 on aggregate.
Bayern were given something of a shock in the first leg of their Round of 16 tie with Red Bull Salzburg, drawing 1-1. They clicked into gear in the second leg back at home, though, winning 7-1 on the night and 8-2 on aggregate. Robert Lewandowski scored a hattrick that night and remains in imperious goalscoring form. The Polish striker has scored 31 Bundesliga goals and 12 Champions League goals in the 2021-2022 season so far. Villarreal’s defence is going to have to come up with something quite special to stop him, as well as the likes of Serge Gnabry, Thomas Muller, and Leroy Sané.
Here's how they line up:
Villarreal: Rulli, Foyth, Torres, Albiol, Estuphinan, Capoue, Parejo, Coquelin, Moreno, Lo Celso, Danjuma
Bayern Munich: Neuer, Pavard, Upamecano, Hernandez, Davies, Kimmich, Musiala, Coman, Muller, Gnabry, Lewandowski
Bayern Munich have beaten Villarreal on the two previous occasions the clubs met, which was back in the 2010/11 season in the Champions League Group stage.
