Villarreal have a manager coach who is a master of cup system competitions. In Unai Emery’s trophy room, there are four (consecutive) medals for the first place in the Europa League, as well as two for winning the Cup and the League Cup of France.Last season, the 50-year-old Spaniard brought the ‘Yellow Submarine’ the biggest European trophy in the club’s history by winning the second most important UEFA competition. That enabled Villarreal to be in the Champions League, and Emery and his players shine among the elite.Sun 16:30: (14.0) Bielefeld (8.00) Bayern (1.20)The passage of the group phase in which the rivals were Manchester United, Atalanta and Young Boys is not a particularly great success, but the elimination of Juventus in the eighth-finals, then Bayern Munich in the quarterfinals is exactly that. Especially the triumph against the Bavarians, who were among the favorites to win the competition.Already in the first match, Arnaut Danjuma announced a sensation with a goal for the 1-0 victory, and it was confirmed in the return match. Although few believed that the Bavarians would not be able to turn around in front of their fans and place themselves among the four best teams on the continent, it still happened. Samuel Chukwueze’s goal in the 88th minute for 1-1 saved Villarreal the advantage from the first match and sank the favored Bayern.Sat 22:00: (3.40) Getafe (3.10) Villareal (2.45)After the match in Munich, the midfielder of the guests, Dani Parejo, revealed one of the most important reasons for the success of his team.”Nagelsmann said that he wants to solve the question of the semifinalists in the first match. This is an insult to Villarreal and football in general. Sometimes when you spit up, it can come back to your face,” Parejo told about the Bayern coach.A former student of the Real Madrid academy and a longtime member of Valencia is not the only one who publicly ‘criticized’ Nagelsmann. Gerard Moreno also said that his statement was a motive for Villarreal’s players.”In the first match, we were the ones who missed the opportunity to win the match. Everything that was said served as additional motivation. In the return match, they made a mistake by not bringing us down after we conceded a goal and we took advantage of it. What this team is doing is incredible”, said the great striker.The experienced Raul Albiol, who had numerous duels with Robert Lewandowski, was named the best player of the second leg match. He once gave the Pole a meter of space, and that was enough for a master striker like Lewa to hit the target.”The strikers at this level are among the best in Europe and you have to compete with them. We gave him a half-chance, and he used it to score,” said the 36-year-old stopper.Bayern ist raus: Villarreal stun Allianz Arena with their only shot on targetHowever, the Spaniard was the one smiling in the end.”It cost us a lot of effort, but we did an amazing thing. Our victories come from teamwork. It’s a great thing to be in the Champions League semi-finals.” Albiol, who had his taste of international glory, concluded.He won the UEFA Cup with Valencia in 2004, but also the World Cup with Spain in 2010, and the European Championship with his national team in 2008 and 2012.
