Tonight's result possibly the biggest shock of the round. Villarreal and Benfica the underdogs set to form part of Friday's draw.

Difficult to see Juve come back from this now. Two goals is what the home side need to force extra time.

Chukuweze breaks and almost finds Danjuma as Villarreal win a corner that they are in no hurry to take.

83

A new level of urgency now at play from the Juventus side as they desperately look for that equalizing goal. The creative element has really been lacking from the Italian outfit, especially in this second half.

All the noise coming now from the 600 Villarreal fans gathered in a corner of the Juventus Stadium.

Ten minutes for Juve to salvage their 2021-22 European football dream as they stare yet another round of 16 exit in the face.

Rugano off for Dybala

Groguets sense glory

Not the best spot kick ever as the Polish keeper gets a hand on the ball but was unable to keep the strike out.

Gerard to take..... Juve players still complain as Moreno steps up and .....scores....just about !

Coquelin dives theatrically but the spot kick is awarded .... big, big moment here !

Shots on target: Juve 5-0 Villarreal

as.com
71

Villarreal enjoy a spell on the ball and a series of whistles break out from the home fans. Frustration palpable now as the clock ticks down. Difficult to call this one and ascertain who will be the final side to make Friday's draw. Assuming Chelsea progress.

69

Just over twenty minutes remain in Turin and the game remains deadlocked at 0-0.

as.com
67

Juve struggling to generate the same cutting edge that we saw in the first 45'. Vlahovic has been more anonymous in this half and the Italian side really do seem to lack the creative spark to find a way through the yellow wall.

as.com

Coquelin and Chukwueze are on with Trigueros and Pino making way.

as.com
63

Juve fans finding their voice now as they do their bit to drive their side forward.

as.com

Emery calling for his subs. Samuel Chukuweze and Coquelin getting ready for action.

as.com
61

Another long range effort from Juve as Cuadrado drives the ball wide of Rulli's post. Juve running out of ideas and resigned to long range efforts ?

as.com
59

Fine long range effort from Rabiot as the Frenchman forces Rulli to save well again. The shot gets the fans going now.

as.com
58

A realm cat and mouse dynamic to the game now as Juve probe and pass and the men in yellow sit deep and just soak up the pressure.

as.com
53

A lull in the game. Villarreal in no hurry to move the game along and Juve fans getting a little restless one senses.

Danjuma has disappointed so far for Villarreal. Moreno, Dia or 'Super Eagle' Samuel Chukwueze would certainly offer a different approach.

as.com

Villarreal have only really created the one chance where Argentine Lo Celso went close.

as.com
50

Moise Kean, Dybala and Bernardeschi warming up for Juve. Still no subs from Villarreal going through any drill ....will we see Gerard to offer added cutting edge for the visitors ?

as.com

Vlahovic and Morata are linking up well tonight and if the Serie A side do find the net tonight, I'd be surprised if it's not one of those two on target.

as.com

Final checks from the ref and away we go in Turin.

as.com

From what we've seen in the first half, it does look like a solitary goal will resolve this tie.

as.com

Teams and match officials in the tunnel with the second half just moments away from starting.

as.com

HT in Lille: LOSC-Chelsea 1-1 (1-3 on agg.) Pulisic drawing the 'Blues' level just before the break.

as.com

All to be decided in the second half...

as.com
as.com

Corner overhit and drifts wide as the whistle sounds for the break. Juve creating the better chances but Villarreal looking good on the ball.

Vlahovic really does look like a class act too and the player most likely to find the net here in Turin.

as.com
45

The 45 minutes are over and Juve win a corner right at the death.

as.com
44

Juve go close again as Morata glances a header goal bound and the men in yellow manage to clear the danger.

as.com
41

Huge level of patience to Villarreal's play this evening as the men in yellow stroke the ball around with poise and confidence looking for a chink in the Juve armour. Lo Celso has another shot from the edge of the box but well blocked by the home side.

as.com

Goal in Lille: Lille 1-0 Chelsea. (1-2 on agg) Yilmaz from the spot putting the French side ahead.

as.com
37

Vlahovioc really is a complete player.... assists, fine passing vision and a constant threat in front of goal for Juve.

as.com
as.com
35

Once again Rulli saves the day as he stops a close range headed effort from Vlahovic.

as.com
33

Free for Juve just outside the Villarreal box as Cuadrado is clipped. Danger as Rulli organises his wall. Cuadrado over the ball but leaves the kick for Arthur and Villarreal concede a corner.

as.com

Just a reminder (am sure you are all aware...) that away goals do not count double in the event of a tie on aggregate. In previous years, had the game ended 0-0 here, then the Serie A men would have advanced by virtue of their goal away scored away from home some weeks ago in Spain.

as.com

Still no goals in Lille and as things stand, Chelsea would progress to the quarter final with Juve-Villarreal to go to extra-time should things remain level after 90 minutes.

as.com
27

Juve knocking on the door again and desperate defending from the visitors sees the home side win another corner.

as.com

Little for Szczęsny in the Juve goal to do so far this evening so far. Despite their neat passing play we've yet to see any real cutting thrust from Emery's side.

as.com

Rulli looking to lure the Juve players forward before releasing the ball for the side in yellow. All the danger now coming in the Villarreal half as Juve step up a gear.

Morata fails to latch onto a Cuadrado cross as Villarreal still boss things in terms of possession.

As always, all Villarreal's creative play will go through Dani Parejo, very much the fulcrum of Unai Emery's side.

Juve more than happy to let the visitors have the ball and avoiding a high press.

as.com

Not a full house in Turin with some (Covid) attendance restrictions still in place in certain regions of Italy. Plenty of noise being generated though despite a few gaps in the seating.

All set, our Polish ref sounds his whistle and Juve start the action.

Juve have really turned their season around after a torrid start to the 2021-22 campaign and now look likely to take one of the coveted top four places that would lead to UCL football next season.

A small pocket of yellow clad fans tucked away in the left hand corner will be hoping to witness another historic European night for their very own 'Yellow Submarine". There is another 'Yellow Submarine" in Spanish football with Cadiz CF also holding claim to the same Beatles inspired nickname.

Juve in their classic black & white stripes, white shorts and socks with the visitors in their classic all yellow strip.

All set in Turin.... Vlahovic and Morata looking to cause problems for Juve... Danjuma and Lo Celso hoping to strike for the LaLiga side.... a tough one to call.

One card away from suspension ....

Juventus' Rabiot and Juan Cuadrado will need to watch their step tonight as a further yellow card would mean suspension should they progress to the next stage of the competition. Parejo and Rulli face a similar predicament for the visitors.

as.com

At present, we know the names of six of the eight sides that will be present in Friday's quarter and semi-final draws.... Manchester City, Liverpool, Benfica, Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid and Bayern Munich. Juve/Villarreal and Lille/Chelsea will be hoping that their names are added to the list.

Pressure on Juve

Both teams will have little to lose in this game, more so Juventus than Villareal with more pressure for the Turin squad due to their rich history in European football.

Villarreal come into the game looking to create an upset with Unai Emery's side not facing the added layer of pressure that the Serie A side will be experiencing.
