Villarreal and Juventus face off in Turin for a ticket to the Champions League quarterfinals

Villarreal went to Turin in search of a victory against Juventus that would lead them to the Champions League quarterfinals, following the tie won in the first leg at the La Cerámica stadium.

Equality by 1-1 three weeks ago, left the tie completely open in a Champions League edition that has eliminated the double value of goals on the opposite field in the event of a tie.

The Yellow Submarine 'seeks to reach the Champions League quarterfinals for the third time in its history after being a semifinalist in the 2005/2006 season and fourth finalist in 2008/2009.

Unai Emery will face the match as a way of continuing to react after winning Celta 1-0, which was their second victory in their last four games. Although the Spanish team has won, its weakness this season lies especially in the away matches. However, this duel, due to scenario and motivation, could alleviate this shortcoming, as was already seen in the group stage against Young Boys and Atalanta at home.

His rival faces this round of 16 of the Champions League with the outstanding figures of Serbian Dusan Vlahovic and Spaniard Álvaro Morata, whose great performances in Serie A have made them the hope to untie the tie to one of the first leg and reach the quarterfinals.

Its coach, Italy's Massimiliano Allegri, reserved Vlahovic on the bench against Sampdoria with an eye on the Champions League and left Morata at the forefront of the offense, who once again excelled with a double in what is being one of his best seasons.
