Tottenham midfielder Giovani Lo Celso is currently on loan with Villarreal, managed by former Arsenal boss Unai Emery.

They stunned Juventus to reach the last eight of the Champions League and hosted Bayern Munich in their quarter-final first leg tie last night.

The La Liga outfit dominated Bayern for much of the game and should have won by more than the eventual 1-0 margin.

Lo Celso was named man of the match, on a night where he showed the quality which convinced Tottenham to sign him in the first place.

The Athletic report he also got an earful from Emery for giving the ball away and handing Bayern a chance to score, which may also be an insight into why he isn’t a typical Antonio Conte player.

He also struggled with fitness issues during his time at Spurs but this was a reminder of what a player he can be when he is at full sharpness.

As per WhoScored, he laid on five key passes to set up chances for teammates as Villarreal should really have put the tie out of sight.

As it stands, it is very much still in the balance, which is the only downside of the night for Lo Celso, Emery and everyone else with a Villarreal persuasion.

Lo Celso is currently shining on the stage that Tottenham want to get themselves on next season, and he has 90 minutes between him and the last four.
