On the Villarreal side, we had obviously not forgotten the statements of the Bavarian coach Julian Nagelsmann in the conference on the eve of the match. “We made a lot of mistakes on the first leg. They made one: let us live. And we have to punish them for that,” said the Bavarian coach.
Happy with qualification for the semi-finals of the Champions League, Gerard Moreno (30) took the opportunity to send a spade to Bayern. “In the first leg, we had a very good game at home. We made the mistake of not killing them, but those comments gave us motivation. They made the mistake of not killing us and we were able to score the qualifying goal. What this team has done is very great. We are on par with the best in Europe. Whoever they are. In football it is very difficult to win and we are happy with this qualification”, launched the Spanish striker.
