FC Bayern Munich has been eliminated from the Champions League.

The international press reacted clearly and celebrated FC Villarreal.

Munich – The seventh in the table from Spain was ultimately too good for the ultimate in German football: FC Bayern Munich* is out of the Champions League, in the quarterfinals against FC Villarreal was the last stop.

After the 1-0 defeat in the first leg, coach Julian Nagelsmann's team was about to force at least an extra time in the second leg.

After Robert Lewandowski's opening goal shortly after the break, nothing came - and so the yellow submarine appeared once in the final phase: Perfectly played counterattack, Samuel Chukwueze pushed the ball over the line in the 87th minute - 1: 1 and it was over for the Bavarians.

As shocked as the people of Munich are after the early end of the CL, the international press is clear.
