Villarreal vs Bayern Munich - LIVE!
Unai Emery’s reward for overcoming Juventus in the round of 16 is not the one he would have hoped for.
Villarreal host Bayern Munich on Wednesday evening as the Champions League hots up.
An expert at navigating one-off European ties, Emery faces a daunting task. Indeed, Bayern - despite some defensive concerns - put Red Bull Salzburg to the sword in the round-of-16, smashing their Austrian opposition 7-1 inside the Allianz Arena.
Still, their rather listless display in the away leg (a 1-1 draw) could give Villarreal hope. If they can contain the likes of Robert Lewandowski - which is far easier said than done of course - then perhaps the La Liga outfit could well spring another surprise.
Alongside Liverpool and Manchester City, Bayern have been touted as favourites to win the competition outright but, though they are the stronger side on paper, know they face a difficult task against a master tactician such as Emery.
