So far, there are many questions about how the Germans play in the Champions League under Nagelsmann. Yes, in the group round there were 6 wins out of 6 - but, in addition to the crisis Barcelona, there were Benfica and Dynamo in the rivals. In the 1/8 finals, there was a seemingly simple opponent, Red Bull Salzburg, and they were defeated 7-1 in Munich, but before that there was almost a failure in Salzburg. There, the Austrians were leading for a long time, but Koman managed to equalize. There was no such player last Wednesday, moreover, the Germans didn't create any chances at Ceramica, losing 0-1. Now you need to play at home to win - what will Nagelsmann come up with for this?

Villarreal have actually finished fighting in the domestic arena. There were no chances for 4th place in, moreover, now it is impossible to repeat the results achieved in the previous season. But the decline in domestic league can be explained by the result in the Champions League. There it turned out to repeat the best result in history. First, the "yellow submarine" was able to leave the group, taking 2nd place from the strong and ambitious Atalanta. And then, despite the goal conceded already in the 1st minute of the home match, the submariners dealt with Juventus in the 1/8 finals. The first leg at "Ceramic" turned out into win - having scored already in the 8th minute with the efforts of Danzhuma, then the hosts of the arena confidently kept the advantage. Now they can try to play defensive football at Munich, the results of the first match allow it.
In 2011, the sides already played each other, having fought in the "group" of the Champions League. The Germans in that confrontation did not meet much resistance, winning both meetings with a total score of 5-1. Bayern were left without Boone Sarr, Tolisso and Chupa-Moting. Villarreal have so far been left without Alberto Moreno. Bookmakers are confident that Bayern will win, and very easily. But the Germans have already failed, and now Villarreal will use a defensive style.
Prediction for the match: Under 3.5 goals scored.
