Bayern Munich are "extremely bitter" after crashing out of the Champions League with a 2-1 aggregate defeat to Villarreal in the second leg of the quarter-final on Tuesday, says midfielder Thomas Muller.

Samuel Chukwueze netted the 88th-minute winner for the Yellow Submarine, who are now on to the semi-final as their magical European campaign continues.

Robert Lewandowski had levelled the aggregate score earlier in the game at Allianz Arena before Chukwueze's stunner.

"It's extremely bitter that we conceded a goal towards the end despite the good performance," said Bayern Munich star Thomas Muller to Amazon Prime. "We played a good game. We have to blame ourselves for only scoring one goal. The course of the game did not deserve a 1-1 result.

"I don't know what else to say. Accepting this defeat is extremely difficult, very difficult."
