Juventus 0-3 Villarreal LIVE: Juventus DUMPED OUT of the Champions League Last 16 once again
Villarreal stunned Juventus with a brilliant second-half performance to condemn the Italian side to another last 16 exit. Dušan Vlahović went close to opening the scoring for Juventus when he rattled the woodwork after 21 minutes.
Vlahović was then denied again in the 35th minute, when his point-blank header was well smothered by Villarreal goalkeeper Geronimo Rulli. Villarreal were then awarded a penalty in the 76th minute, when Daniele Rugani brought down Arnaut Danjuma in the box.
Gerard Moreno stepped up, and his penalty just crept into the bottom corner beyond Wojciech Szczęsny gloves. And the Europa League holders then went 2-0 up when a ball into the box was bundled in from close range by Pau Torres with just five minutes to go.
Juve’s capitulation went from bad to worse in stoppage time, when Mathijs de Ligt handled a goalbound shot to give Villarreal a second penalty. Danjuma stepped up and sent Szczęsny the wrong way for 3-0.
