Bayern Munich 1-1 Villarreal (1-2 agg): Late Chukwueze strike breaks Bavarian hearts
There was late drama at the Allianz Arena as Villarreal stunned Bayern Munich to reach their first Champions League semi-final in 16 years.
Samuel Chukwueze struck a dramatic decisive late goal as Villarreal secured a 2-1 aggregate victory that sent Bayern Munich crashing out of the Champions League.
The Nigeria international climbed off the bench to make it 1-1 on the night two minutes from time in the second leg at the Allianz Arena to send the Yellow Submarine through to their first semi-final since the 2005-06 season.
Robert Lewandowski had levelled the tie early in the second half with his 13th Champions League goal of the campaign.
But there was a dramatic twist, as Chukwueze ensured Unai Emery would not be prevented from progressing beyond the last eight of this competition for the first time in his managerial career.
