Barça's Lewandowski wants Villarreal revenge after Bayern Munich KO

| sport

The Polish striker will meet the Spanish side for the first time in Barcelona colours

On April 12, one of the biggest surprises in recent Champions League history occurred when Villarreal knocked German giants Bayern Munich out of the competition.

The Germans, coached by Julian Nagelsmann and led by Robert Lewandowski, were not expected to have any problems against Unai Emery's side.

But history had something else prepared. In the first leg in Villarreal, the home side produced the perfect performance, winning 1-0 win a goal from Danjuma.

LEWANDOWSKI'S REVENGE

It was a favourable (and unexpected) result, but not enough to make them favourites in the tie. Going into the second leg, that was still Bayern.

And the Bundesliga champions started well, pinning Villarreal back. Lewandowski finally broke the deadlock in the 52nd minute to level the tie and that looked like that for Villarreal.

But they held out and, with extra time nearing, Samuel Chukwueze appeared. He struck in the 88th minute and Villarreal stunned Bayern at the Allianz Arena.

On Thursday, now in Barcelona colours, Lewandowski will be out for his revenge.
