Juventus are dumped out of the Champions League in the last 16 once again! The Italians have been undone by a perfect defensive performance by Villarreal. The visitors bided their time and waited for their unwitting hosts to make a mistake, which came from Rugani late in the second half. Once it came, Moreno scored from the spot and there was no way back for Juve. Torres and Danjuma added gloss to an impressive victory.
This is Juventus' third elimination at this stage of the Champions League in as many seasons. They were woeful, while Villarreal were calm throughout. Emery's men had just three shots on target all game and scored with all of them. A more clinical performance you will rarely see. They'll trouble any side in the quarter-finals.
Juve are left to reflect on another dismal European showing, then, while Villarreal wait to find out who they'll face in the quarter-finals. The Yellow Submarine has truly surfaced in this season's Champions League. That's all for now. Goodbye!

Statistiche
90'+5'
FULL-TIME: JUVENTUS 0-3 VILLARREAL (1-4 ON AGGREGATE)22:55
90'+4'
Villarreal get a free-kick in Juve's half and elect to keep possession. Juve dejectedly chase after the ball until the referee takes pity on them by blowing the final whistle!22:54
90'+3'
That's Danjuma's fifth goal in this season's Champions League, the most by any Villarreal player in a single campaign in this competition. Villarreal are a side on the up.23:13
90'+2'
GOAL! JUVENTUS 0-3 VILLARREAL (1-4 ON AGGREGATE!) Juventus have totally unravelled here. Danjuma confidently slots his penalty into the bottom left corner of the net. This has become one of Villarreal's greatest European performances.22:51
90'+1'
There'll be at least five minutes of added time. Here comes Danjuma to take the penalty...22:55
90'
De Ligt is booked for his handball. Danjuma will be the player to take Villarreal's second penalty of the game.22:54
89'
PENALTY FOR VILLARREAL! Juve leave themselves open to another counter-attack and Villarreal find themselves with three players against Juve's two. De Ligt blocks Danjuma's shot in the box with his hand and it's an easy decision for the referee to award another penalty.23:08
88'
Juve have been totally outwitted by Villarreal here. The hosts are resorting to more despairing balls into the visitors' box, none of which are paying off.22:48
86'
Villarreal make a late change of their own to help them see this win out. Pedraza replaces Parejo.22:46
86'
Juve have to go for broke now. Kean replaces the muted Morata up front.22:46
85'
Aurier made enough of a nuisance of himself in the box to get his head to the corner, and Torres was in the right place in the centre to finish it off. Juve are staring down the barrel of yet another round-of-16 defeat in the Champions League.22:45
85'
GOAL! JUVENTUS 0-2 VILLARREAL (1-3 ON AGGREGATE)! Villarreal are surely heading to the Champions League quarter-finals! Torres stabs the corner into the net with a side-foot finish as Aurier flicks it into the centre. Juve's marking for the goal is dire.22:43
84'
Villarreal burst forward on the counter-attack. Chukwueze slips a pass through to Moreno who readies himself to shoot. Danilo has no choice but to prod it out for a corner.22:41
83'
There's another Juve substitute incoming. Bernardeschi replaces Locatelli.22:40
82'
Arthur gives a silly foul away by taking out Danjuma in Villarreal's half. That isn't what Juve need at this stage.22:40
81'
Villarreal have managed this game perfectly. They've had just five shots on goal to Juve's 14 and yet they're ahead. All the pressure's on Juve now.22:39
80'
Aurier's penalised for handling the ball in his own half. There's a desperation now to Juve's play. Dybala floats the free-kick in but Villarreal handle it calmly.22:38
79'
Juventus immediately respond to going behind. Rugani, whose clumsiness has landed his team in trouble, goes off. Dybala comes on.22:36
78'
GOAL! JUVENTUS 0-1 VILLARREAL (1-2 ON AGGREGATE!) Moreno steps up and fires his penalty low towards the bottom right corner. Szczesny gets a hand to it but there's too much pace on the shot for him to save it. Juve have to score now or they're out!22:37
76'
PENALTY FOR VILLARREAL! The referee takes one look and points to the spot! What a huge moment in this game and this tie. Villarreal have been keeping things tight for this whole second half. Now Rugani's made an error and Moreno could punish Juve for it.23:11
75'
Coquelin takes a tumble in Juve's box as Rugani sticks his leg out. It's a dramatic fall by the Villarreal man, but there is contact on first viewing. The referee's advised to head to the pitchside monitor to take a look...22:33
74'
Villarreal make another change. Moreno replaces Lo Celso, who's faded in the second half.22:32
72'
Villarreal's gameplan is clearly to treat this game like a smash-and-grab affair. Any goal now by Emery's men would put Juve in serious difficulty. As things stand, they're not really threatening to score.22:31
71'
Villarreal venture into Juve's half. They make a few neat passes before promptly giving the ball away. Juve could counter but take too long, and the visitors race back into position.22:28
69'
Morata can't reach Locatelli's dink over the top. It bounces out of play. It feels like Juve need to freshen things up.22:27
67'
Arthur drops a pass in behind for Cuadrado to chase. It's headed out to Locatelli who prods harmlessly wide. Juve are trying to inject a little more urgency in their play.22:24
66'
Aurier heads a hopeful Juve ball into the box away. This match isn't pretty at the moment, but that isn't high on Villarreal's priorities.22:23
65'
Pino also heads off. Chukwueze takes his place on the right wing for Villarreal.22:22
64'
Villarreal make the game's first change. Coquelin comes on for the quiet Trigueros.22:21
63'
Vlahovic muscles his way towards the box but the Serbian's endeavour comes to nothing as Rulli comes away with the ball.22:20
62'
There's movement down in the technical area as both teams prepare their first changes. Villarreal have switched almost to a five-man defence with Aurier tucked inside.22:19
60'
Cuadrado is the latest Juve player to try a long shot. It's well hit but also well wide.22:17
58'
Rabiot has a crack at goal again from a wider angle. It takes a deflection and goes out for a corner which Villarreal clear. The Frenchman's doing his bit to keep the Juve fans onside.22:16
57'
Rabiot gets bored of the lack of movement in front of him and lashes a long-range effort straight at Rulli. Rulli has it easily covered.22:17
55'
The Juve fans groan as their team keep passing harmlessly in front of Villarreal's packed defence. Juve seem short of ideas.22:14
53'
Danjuma receives a pass in the corner of Juve's box but is soon crowded out. Trigueros scythes down Cuadrado to give a free-kick away.22:11
51'
This game's become something of a deadlock. Juve are trying their best to force the issue, but Villarreal are standing firm.22:09
49'
Morata lets fly from range but can't keep his effort down. Dybala is warming up down on the touchline.22:07
47'
Cuadrado's wicked cross scares Rulli into punching it away. Villarreal swarm Locatelli and prevent the midfielder from testing their goalkeeper again.22:05
45'
Villarreal get the second half going. Remember, away goals aren't in effect anymore, so if we don't get a goal in the next 45 minutes we're heading for extra-time.22:04
Only on three of the previous 23 occasions have Juventus lost at home to Spanish opposition in the Champions League, and they don't look like losing here so far. Villarreal's only decent chance in the first half was Lo Celso's curler, but the longer they can keep the score level, the more anxious Juve will get.21:55
The referee brings an end to a first half that had plenty of tidy passing but not a lot of penetration. Juve have had the better of the play so far, with Vlahovic hitting the bar and forcing Rulli to make a few smart saves. Villarreal have kept their cool though. It's only a matter of time before they give Szczesny something to do.21:51
45'+1'
HALF-TIME: JUVENTUS 0-0 VILLARREAL (1-1 ON AGGREGATE)21:48
45'
Juve win another corner just before half-time. Cuadrado's delivery arcs out of play. That's all for now.21:47
43'
Villarreal survive the corner, but Juve come straight back. Rulli races off his line to stop Vlahovic from reaching Cuadrado's throughball.21:45
42'
Aurier fires a pass down the line straight out for a Juve throw-in. He winces as the hosts take it. De Sciglio cutely knocks Arthur's delivery down for Vlahovic, but a Villarreal defender gets there first. Juve get a corner.21:44
40'
Lo Celso gets a shot away from the centre. Rabiot sticks his foot out to block it.21:42
38'
Trigueros teases two Juve defenders by standing still with the ball down the left. He eventually pops it off to a teammate. Villarreal are looking measured and assured.21:41
37'
Aurier gives the ball away high up the pitch. Up the other end, the offside flag goes up against Morata.21:37
35'
Juve's free-kick is headed out for a corner. Cuadrado's ball in finds its way to De Ligt, but the Dutchman can't get enough power on his header. Rulli is equal to Vlahovic's improvised nod towards goal.21:36
34'
Vlahovic receives Cuadrado's pass inside and is fouled as he does so. Juve now have a free-kick in a central position, albeit some way from goal. Rulli readies his defensive line.21:35
32'
Locatelli dinks the ball behind the Villarreal defence for Rabiot, who keeps it alive. Villarreal have everyone back though, so there's nowhere for Juve to go.21:34
30'
Arthur's ambitious pass through the middle is intercepted by Parejo. Villarreal look to counter as Danjuma beats his man down the left to cross in. Lo Celso miskicks it at the near post. It comes out to Aurier who smashes wide.21:32
28'
The corner lands to Aurier at the far post who isn't expecting it. By the time the Ivorian gets to grips with the ball, Juve slam the door shut. Villarreal are having their moments here.21:29
27'
Villarreal manage to clear the corner. Now they can attack down their right through Capoue. The Frenchman has no teammate near him so fires hopefully towards the centre. The visitors get a corner out of it.21:29
26'
De Sciglio's latest delivery from the left deflects out for a corner. Cuadrado swings it in. It's headed out for another Juve corner from the other side.21:27
24'
De Sciglio's cross finds its way through to Arthur, who thinks about shooting but decides against it. Danilo floats the ball in from the opposite side. Morata's lay-off doesn't work out though.21:25
22'
Vlahovic looks lively here, but Villarreal almost catch Juve cold on the counter-attack. Lo Celso curls a speculative shot into the side netting from outside the box.21:23
21'
Juve hit the bar! De Sciglio's low cross finds Vlahovic at the near post who hammers it at goal with his left foot. It cannons off the crossbar and back into play! Rulli knows nothing about it.21:22
20'
Rulli's called into action again as Morata sends Vlahovic through on goal. The Villarreal goalkeeper dives across to stop the Serbian's powerful drive.21:21
19'
Villarreal keep possession for a while, attracting whistles from the home fans. The visitors are keeping things neat and tidy early on.21:20
17'
Juve's corner is unsuccessful. Locatelli's long-range effort on the follow-up is blocked.21:18
15'
Trigueros fizzes the ball across goal from the left but no one in Villarreal yellow can get on the end of it. Juve go up the other end and force a corner.21:18
13'
Juve carve out another good opportunity to open the scoring! Rabiot spots Vlahovic's run into the box. The Serbian is quickly closed down. Juve's players get in each other's way in the box and can't finish the chance off as Villarreal clear.21:16
11'
Chance for Juve! Morata rises in the box to get on the end of a cross and heads towards the left-hand post. Rulli makes a fine save to beat the header away.21:13
9'
Aurier flings a cross into the box from the right. Juve are well-positioned to head it away, but they're being outnumbered in the middle of the pitch at the moment.21:10
7'
Villarreal are forcing Juve to be patient. Cuadrado's hopeful cross in is claimed by Rulli.21:11
5'
Cuadrado has become the fifth player to break 50 Champions League appearances for Juventus. How the Colombian would love to continue Juve's European adventure this season to grow that record further.21:12
3'
Villarreal put together some short passing moves early on, attempting to unsettle the Juve defence. The visitors look as well-drilled as ever.21:09
1'
The hosts Juventus get this game underway!21:07
How this tie will end is anyone's guess. Juve have won their last six Champions League games at home. Villarreal have won their last two away games in the competition, as many as they did in their last 15 such games. However, the visitors haven't kept a clean sheet on the road in their last 10 games in the competition. You suspect there will be goals here.21:07
Unai Emery makes four changes to Villarreal from that draw, switching up his wingers entirely. Estupinan and Trigueros start on the left. Aurier and Pino start on the right.21:04
Juve boss Max Allegri makes two changes to the team that secured that 1-1 draw with Villarreal in Spain in February. Danilo and Arthur replace the injured Alex Sandro and Weston McKennie.21:11
SUBS: Sergio Asenjo, Mario Gaspar, Gerard Moreno, Juan Foyth, Vicente Iborra, Samuel Chukwueze, Boulaye Dia, Francis Coquelin, Ruben Pena, Aissa Mandi, Moi Gomez, Alfonso Pedraza.20:59
SUBS: Federico Bernardeschi, Giorgio Chiellini, Paulo Dybala, Moise Kean, Fabio Miretti, Luca Pellegrini, Mattia Perin, Carlo Pinsoglio.20:53
JUVENTUS (4-4-2): Wojciech Szczesny; Danilo, Matthijs de Ligt, Daniele Rugani, Mattia De Sciglio; Juan Cuadrado (c), Manuel Locatelli, Arthur, Adrien Rabiot; Dusan Vlahovic, Alvaro Morata.21:05
Villarreal may be underdogs on what is their first ever visit to Juventus, but they showed their strength of character to salvage a draw at Estadio de la Ceramica and can't be written off here either. Four out of the Yellow Submarine's five last-16 ties in the Champions League ties have ended level. It wouldn't be a surprise if this one goes the distance too.20:41
Juventus welcome Villarreal to Turin with this tie on a knife-edge after a 1-1 draw between these two teams in the first leg.last month. The Italians have been perfect at home in the Champions League this season, picking up three wins from three games, and are currently on a 10-match unbeaten streak here in all competitions. The hosts will fancy their chances of progressing from here.20:35
