Events
Match Events
- 0' Here we go! The referee blows the whistle and Villarreal CF launch into their encounter with FC Bayern München.
- 5' Over 5 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 8' Arnaut Danjuma adds to his 0 season tally! Villarreal CF lead 1-0 — and this changes everything.
- 13' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Gerard Moreno suffering a number of foals already.
- 18' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
- 23' Supporters expect more eagerness from Geronimo Rulli, as he is very good at scoring at Estadio de la Ceramica with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 28' Villarreal CF are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
- 33' Villarreal CF are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.

- 46' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 51' Lucas Hernandez is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for FC Bayern München tonight.
- 56' Joshua Kimmich, a Germany , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 59' The crowd applauds Francis Coquelin as he leaves the pitch. Alfonso Pedraza steps in for Villarreal CF.
- 62' It is a substitution in FC Bayern Munchen team. Thomas Muller is replaced by Leon Goretzka on 62 minute.
- 67' It looks surprising FC Bayern München does not make any changes. Serge Gnabry has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 71' Fresh legs for FC Bayern Munchen! Niklas Sule comes on to replace Benjamin Pavard.
- 74' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Pervis Estupinan.
