Four minutes after being substituted, Chukwueze beat Gerard Moreno’s cross to cancel Robert Lewandowski’s first goal in the 52nd minute to send the team to La Liga thanks to a 2-1 aggregate score. Villarreal had withstood the growing pressure of Bayern in the second half, with Lucas Hernandez and Thomas Müller among those who had the chance to win it before the visitors closed the deal with extra time approaching. The hosts seemed to be lethargic for much of the first half and it took just over half an hour to score a goal when Jamal Musiala sent a direct pass to Villarreal goalkeeper Geronimo Rulli. Villarreal were comfortable with Bayern’s one-dimensional approaches and seemed increasingly confident of clinging to the tough advantage of a goal they had forged in the first game. Lewandowski’s annoyances hit him when he received a foul on Raul Albiol in the 33rd minute, then Arnaut Danjuma and Moreno both approached the visitors. But it was a different story after the break, as Bayern finally picked up the pace and Dayot Upamecano should have scored from a clever cut by busy Leroy Sané in the 51st minute. Moments later, Lewandowski ended a powerful pressure spell by hitting Bayern in the middle of the night, firing a pressure spell that saw Hernandez shoot straight at Rowley and Miller miss a great chance with a header from close range. .

The Nigerian kept his composure to launch another Moreno cross in addition to Manuel Neuer and the “Yellow Submarine” saw the moments they died to secure a famous overall win and a place in the last four.
