Bayern Munich lost 1-0 against Villarreal in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League quarter-final at El Madrigal
Arnaut Danjuma's excellent close-range strike was the difference as the La Liga side pulled off an upset in a fast-paced match that saw both teams battle head to head.
Bayern Munich had been tipped as significant favorites going into the game, owing to their outstanding season.
Throughout the Champions League campaign, Robert Lewandowski has been in spectacular goalscoring form, dominating the scoring charts with twelve goals.
However, he and the rest of Bayern's team lacked the deadly instinct in front of goal on the night, and Villarreal now lead the tie, with the second leg set to take place next week at the Allianz Arena.
In the second leg of the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals, the Bundesliga heavyweights have their work cut out for them.
After being heavily projected to win the tie against Unai Emery's side, Danjuma's goal has put them in a perilous position.
They must now turn the Allianz Arena into a fortress, knowing that Villarreal will not be taken lightly.
With the Bavarians wanting to revenge their 1-0 defeat, Robert Lewandowski will need to get his goalscoring boots back on.
They are six points clear of Borrussia Dortmund at the top of the Bundesliga table.
With a 1-0 deficit to overcome against Augsburg on Tuesday, Julian Nagelsmann may decide he needs to rest one or two players.
Villarreal, on the other hand, will be confident.
They were compact on defense, and each defender handled the Bavarians' threat expertly.
Bayern is now under pressure to turn things around.
