+++ UPDATE +++
Villarreal - The word "Bayern-Dusel" went off the lips again after the Champions League draw - because FC Bayern drew the supposedly easiest of the possible quarter-final opponents with the surprise team FC Villarreal.
The extent to which the "yellow submarine" is actually a lucky ticket remains to be seen.
Because as Julian Nagelsmann already noted at the press conference (his statements to read): Villarreal has the most experienced team in the Spanish league with a total of almost 4000 La Liga appearances.
Last year, Unai Emery's team won the Europa League, this year they threw Juventus Turin* out of the Champions League in the round of 16.
FC Bayern – Villarreal in the live ticker: Munich with a full chapel
"It's a team that's experienced a bit.
You have to crack that first,” said Nagelsmann.
"They have different basic formations and open the game with a lot of risk." The small Estadio de la Cerámica (23,500 seats) will be packed and will not make the task any easier for Munich.

At the same time, however, one thing is certain: FC Bayern is a big favourite, anything but reaching the semi-finals would be tantamount to a moderate earthquake.
The personnel situation could hardly be better before the quarter-final first leg: only Corentin Tolisso and Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting are missing.
Even the long-missing Alphonso Davies* is about to make a comeback, even the starting eleven is in there, as Nagelsmann confirmed.
FC Bayern – Villarreal in the live ticker: Emery caused the last FCB away defeat
Incidentally, Villarreal coach Emery personally inflicted the last away defeat in the Champions League on the record champions in 2017 with PSG.
But that also means that Bayern have not lost a CL away game for over four years.
Villarreal's own "Lewandowski", Gerard Moreno, would like to change that from time to time.
The striker is something like the yellow people's life insurance.
