An electrifying Villarreal beat six times European Cup winners Bayern Munich 1-0 in a frantic Champions League quarter-final first leg tie on Wednesday.
Forward Arnaut Danjuma's eighth minute strike gave Unai Emery's side a slender lead for the second leg at the Allianz Arena in Munich next Tuesday.
Villarreal took the game to Bayern and should probably have won by a larger margin given the number of chances created.
The Europa League holders suffocated Julian Nagelsmann's team when they tried to attack, while proving a constant menace to goalkeeper Manuel Neuer on the counter-attack.
