Dani Parejo takes advantage of the bianconeri's amnesia and makes 1-1, qualification speech postponed to the return match at the Stadium, which Juve must win because the away goals rule no longer exists.

The cold goal did not knock down Villarreal, who on the contrary began to push with their heads down. And he also goes close to equal: on 13 'Lo Celso hits the post from the penalty spot, 3' after Danjuma's shot is deflected but Szczesny has quick reflexes and rejects. The bianconeri are not frightened and offer an attack with Locatelli and Morata, at the end of the time the Spaniards grow, but De Ligt puts out a dangerous low cross from Lo Celso.
Allegri begins the recovery with Bonucci in place of Alex Sandro. Juve moves back its center of gravity, Villarreal grows and begins to stay more insistently in the bianconeri's half: the draw arrives in the 66th minute. Capoue inspires with a touch below, Rabiot forgets to follow Parejo and the Spaniard has too much freedom in the insertion to beat Szczesny and sign the 1-1.
Juve close to the new advantage with Vlahovic, who with the left-handed engages Rulli in the intervention on the ground. The Spaniards try harder in the four minutes of injury time, but the result doesn't change.
