The powerful German cast fell by 1-0 last week in Spain and will have to become strong at home to reverse the series in front of a team with a lot of trade

After being defeated with good arguments by Villarreal, and currently far from their best level, Bayern Munich must wash their image and try to find your best version to reverse the qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals in the second leg that will be played at the Allianz Arena. The match is broadcast by Fox Sports at 16:00 hours in Argentina.

In the first leg, the Bavarians could have conceded three or four goals, due to the fact that they took many risks in defense and the number of missed chances that the players of the Yellow Submarine had, which is currently seventh in the Spanish La Liga but is a team with a lot of skill for the matches of direct elimination.

The German champion has the potential to turn the result around and continue racing in the competition, but for this he will have to rediscover his offensive power and improve the balance between attack and defense, something that has mysteriously disappeared in recent weeks.

“What should not happen is that we give Villarreal time to put its quality on the pitch. We have to play a little dirtier. But we shouldn't talk about it so much, but we have to do it tomorrow,” said coach Julian Nagelsmann on Monday. There is concern in Munich because on Saturday, against FC Augsburg in the Bundesliga, the team disappointed again and had won only 1-0 with a penalty scored by Lewandowski.

They are facing a club that has only reached the Champions League semifinals once — it was in the 2005/06 edition, eliminated by Arsenal FC — but that with Unai Emery on the bench has become champion of the Europa League. Although the Germans hold six titles from the top club competition, they should not trust themselves to this cast that they already left in the on the way to Juventus in the round of 16.

At Bayern Munich there is still optimism because in the previous phase, against Red Bull Salzburg, they did not play a good game in the first leg (1-1) but then beat their rival 7-1 at the Allianz Arena. However, since 2015, Bayern lost five times in the first leg of the Champions League and were eliminated each time. This statistic excites Villarreal to achieve another feat on the continental plane.
