Bayern coach

said: "The first game was the key, we were not good enough there. Today was one of the best games of the last few weeks. We played with a lot of intensity from the start. It's hard to produce a lot of situations against such a deep wall."

The coach was asked about the miss that

had and said: "Thomas should conquer from situations like this, don't get to many of those."

Naglesman referred to Villarreal's goal and said: "We pushed forward and left a space behind. He didn't even kick the ball properly, it hurts a lot."

On the uncomfortable situation he will have in the coming weeks he said: "I'm not afraid, there are worse things in the world."

Thomas Müller said: "If you only look at the game today without the first game, we had to move convincingly. It's hard to accept, I do not know what to say. It hurts a lot, we have to blame only ourselves for scoring only one goal. The result "1: 1 does not reflect what was in the game. We had a good game with the support of our fans behind us."

Villarreal striker

He said after the game: "We are happy. Since we drew Bayern Munich we have told ourselves that we are capable of doing it. The faith and the way this team is fighting has helped us achieve that. Amazing. We will reach the semi-finals with a lot of respect for the opponent. It's hard to win in football, but we deserved to go up. We knew we would have to suffer on defense, but we will have situations and in the end Chukuza managed to do it. To be a Villarreal fan and to enjoy such nights. "

And Villarreal

He said: "It's unbelievable, we had to work so hard. We suffered a lot in both games, but being in the semi-finals is great for Villarreal. We knew it was going to be a very long 90 minutes and we would suffer."

On the many clashes with Robert Lewandowski, the veteran stopper said: "Normally, pioneers at this level are the best in Europe and you have to measure yourself against them. He demanded that I be at the peak of my record for 90 minutes."
