Losing a shocking defeat to an underdog at home, Ronaldo’s old team broke up with the Champions League for the third time in a row in the 1/8 round.
Due to injury, Juve welcomed Villarreal with two unfortunate absences in defence: left-back Alex Sandro and vice-captain Leonardo Bonucci. Coach Max Allegri was forced to fill right-back Mattia De Sciglio to the left, replacing Sandro. With the central defender pair, the duo Daniele Rugani – Matthijs De Ligt started when Bonucci had to sit out.
The change remaining in the Juve squad in this match compared to the last match (Sampdoria 1-3 Juve, round 29 of Serie A) appeared on the attack. The main kick in the position of Moise Kean’s striker belongs to Dusan Vlahovic.
Juve line-up – Villarreal
Juve – Villarreal developments
Juve and Villarreal drew 1-1 in the first leg at La Ceramica stadium. With UEFA having abolished the away goals rule in the knockout round for the first time after 56 years of application, the second leg can be temporarily considered as both teams have to “clear the flag, play from the beginning”.
For this reason, Juve and Villarreal immediately showed their determination to find the opening goal right after the referee Szymon Marciniak blew the opening whistle. Both sides try to increase the tempo of the match to take advantage. The development of the second leg was significantly more exciting than the first leg that took place on February 23.
The first notable opportunity to score belongs to Juve. 11 minutes, Alvaro Morata headed the ball at close range, but Geronimo Rulli had a brilliant reflex
Both Juve and Villarreal play open attack, constantly making many quick, direct ball phases. But after the first 15 minutes of the game could not score, the “Yellow Submarine” began to return with a familiar slow and sure kick.
Villarreal gave up the game to the “Old Lady” of Turin. When the away team sagged, it was time for “Old Lady” to create many dangerous stunts. Villarreal tried to slow down the tempo of the game while Juve had a better position. But the most exciting developments were in the first half.
The tedium of the first leg returned in the second half. The home team slowed down after squandering many chances. On the other side of the front line, the yellow shirt team played a pragmatic, even somewhat negative defense. Villarreal “built a double-decker bus” in front of Rulli’s goal, making Juve only play in moderation.
When the match was going boring, the big turning point suddenly came in the 76th minute. Rugani fouled in the black-and-white striped team’s penalty box when he split Francis Coquelin.
VAR intervened and referee Marcinak awarded Villarreal the penalty. Gerard Moreno took responsibility for the penalty kick. Wojciech Szczesny guessed the right direction of the shot, got his hand on the ball but still conceded a goal
The opening goal pushed Villarreal’s fighting spirit high. Continuing the excitement, coach Unai Emery’s teachers and students broke Juve’s game when Pau Torres received a cross from Serge Aurier’s corner and then cushioned the ball to net Szczesny.
Villarreal officially put an end to Juve in injury time. 90+2 minutes, De Ligt accidentally let the ball touch his hand in the Bianconeri’s penalty area when he blocked Arnaut Danjuma’s shot. The Nigerian striker fooled Szczesny to set a 3-0 victory for the representative from Spain
