Villarreal host Bayern Munich tonight in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final tie.
The Yellow Submarine secured a famous victory at Juventus in the last-16 to earn this visit from the 2020 European champions, who are once again en route to title glory in the Bundesliga.
RB Salzburg did provide something of a nervy contest in the previous round for Bayern, until Robert Lewandowski kicked into gear to deliver a stunning 7-1 win in Bavaria.
Ahead of the game, Munich smashed Freiburg while Villarreal have suffered back-to-back defeats on the road in LaLiga to raise question marks over Unai Emery’s management of the squad.
