Spanish club Villarreal defeated German record champions Bayern Munich 1-0 in a thrilling quarter-final first leg of the Champions League on Wednesday night. The scorer was Nigerian-born Dutch striker Arnaut Danjuma with his eighth-minute goal. Bayern coach Julian Nagelsmann was correspondingly frustrated after the game: “Basically, we didn’t play well today. Defensively the processes rarely come, rarely really aggressive football played in all phases of the game. In the end, of course, we were a little happy that, from our point of view, it was only 1-0 for the opponent. They could have scored one or two more goals. We also had one or two situations where we could have scored a goal, but it wasn’t 100% deserved. We just didn’t play well today. In all areas. But because it’s only 1-0, there’s definitely confidence in the second leg. We will certainly show a different face there, because we have to, of course, but because we can do it too and we definitely act differently than we did today.” The Champions League quarter-final second leg will take place next Tuesday in the Munich Allianz Arena And nothing is lost for Bayern.
