JAKARTA - Villarreal silenced Bayern Munich in the first leg of the 2021/2022 Champions League quarter-finals, Thursday, April 7 in the morning of Indonesian Western Time (WIB). Villarreal's only goal was scored by Arnaut Danjuma in the 8th minute.
Villarreal coach, Unai Emery, was made absurdly happy. He said this victory gave him satisfaction.
"The most satisfying thing from tonight was seeing the pride of the public (Villarreal fans), that they wanted to share with us. Yes, professionalism is very important, but football is a sentiment. So I am very proud to make our fans very happy tonight," said Emery, quoted by Antara.
"It's all part of the experience that we had goals disallowed, that Bayern created some chances, that we missed some chances. But I'm satisfied with what I saw."
The Spaniard said his team needed this level of play to go further in the Champions League. He hopes that his team will do it when they meet again with Bayern Munich, 12 April.
"We have to demand more from ourselves by trying to get rid of them (Bayern). My team is very competitive. They were perfect tonight," concluded Emery.
This 1-0 victory is an important capital for Villarreal looking at the second leg which will be held at home to Bayern Munich, Allianz Arena. They only need a draw to qualify for the 2021/2022 Champions League semifinals.
