While Juventus also fought back to hold Villarreal to a 1-1 draw in the first-leg game in Spain on February 22 and they will now square off at the Allianz Stadium in Italy on March 16.
The Italian football powerhouse are enjoying a 10-match unbeaten run at home across all competitions and they are also undefeated in their last six games in the Champions League as the hosts.
Having won the Champions League twice, Juventus's six-match unbeaten run in the competition includes wins over top European clubs such Chelsea FC of England and FC Porto of Portugal.
”We certainly made a bad mistake for their equaliser: we were not positioned well and that made the difference," Juventus star Danilo said after the draw against Villarreal.
"We must pay more attention in those circumstances, but there is the return leg and we can book the qualification in Turin.
"The attitude is what counts the most; we need to improve as soon as possible because we know that continuity makes the difference."
