The 1-0 is not such a short rent for Villarreal

The players, coaches and fans of Villarreal ended with a bitter aftertaste on Wednesday night. They won 1-0 at Bayern Munich (undefeated in their last 25 Champions League games away) in the first leg of the quarterfinals. But at times they were able to finish the game with a higher income that, without sentencing the tie, much less, if he put it a little more in franchise for the ‘submarine’.

However, history indicates that the 1-0 against in the first leg of a direct Champions League tie it is not easy to overcome for the Bavarians. So much so that in three of the last four timesue conceded this result in the first leg, always in the opposite field, they ended up saying goodbye to the maximum continental competition.

The previous one closest dates back to the season 2015-16. It was in the first leg of the semifinals, against At. Madrid in the capital of Spain, where they succumbed by a tight 1-0. In the second leg, the Germans prevailed by an insufficient 2-1, which decided the tie for the mattress side for the double value of the goals in the opposite field. A criterion, let us remember, that no longer applies this season.

In the 2013-14, also in the first leg of the semi-finals, Bayern fell to Real Madrid at the Bernabeu 1-0. Adjusted result, yes, but that the whites revalidated in the second leg with a resounding 0-4 that opened wide the doors of the final.

In the 2011-12this time in the round of 16, Bayern did demonstrate their absolute superiority against Bassel Swiss, who after winning the first leg of the round of 16 1-0 was rolled in the second leg by a crushing 7-0.

And the next precedent we find the course 1989-90with the Milan winning the first leg of the semi-finals by 1-0 which they did well in Germany, where they lost 2-1, saving for that double value of the goals in the opposite field.

In total, in their European history, Bayern have lost 1-0 in the first leg of European qualifiers in eight times, between European Cup or Champions, Recopa and UEFA. It fell eliminated in three (all of them in the top continental competition, where he overcame only two of the five 1-0 losses recorded in the first leg of a KO stage) and exceeded the remaining five (two in the European Cup, another two in the Recopa and one in UEFA).
