Juventus ended the UEFA Champions League Round of 16 against Villarreal with a draw on Tuesday 22 February 2022 at the Estadio de la Cerámica in Villarreal, Spain.  Not an ideal result considering Juventus scored the fastest debutant goal in the 32nd minute by Dušan Vlahović just to let it go by an error.  The Second half will be played on Wednesday 16 March at the Allianz Stadium.

This is the first-ever meeting between Villarreal and Juventus in European competition, while it is only the second time that Villarreal have faced an Italian team in the knockout stage of the Champions League, after Inter, eliminated in the quarter-finals in 2005-06, thanks to the home win, 1-0, after the away defeat, in the first leg 1-2 (2-2 overall, but with the away goal rule, which from this edition will no longer be considered).

Juventus opened the score with a flash goal in the 1st minute (actually 32 seconds!) Forward Dušan Vlahović defeated Villarreal goalkeeper Gerónimo Rulli with a right-footed shot to the bottom left corner. The assist is by Danilo. This is Vlahović’s first goal with Juventus in the Champions League, way to go! Vlahović’s goal is the fastest goal by a debutant in the Champions League!


Villarreal equalized for the 1-1 in the 66th minute. It is Daniel Parejo to defeat Juventus goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny with a left-footed shot to the center. The assist is by Etienne Capoue.

✅ Stats before the game.   Since the 2002-2003 season, Juventus have passed the round in six of eight knockout matches played against Spanish sides in the Champions League, including the most recent: 3-2, in total, against Atlético Madrid, in the round of 16. final 2018-19.
