In another wonderful moment of the night, Villarreal pulled off a genius offside trap to stop a potentially dangerous free-kick.
Joshua Kimmich floated in a ball at the back post but to his surprise every man wearing yellow pushed forward, leaving at least seven Bayern players in an offside position.
