Match rating
“It was a very important victory because we have achieved it on a difficult field. We get three points. And we are very happy about it. The team responded in difficult moments, and that is what gave me the most joy. We knew how to suffer. After the first half we were 1-0 on the scoreboard and we knew that in the second half they were going to push us. The team knew how to endure. That is why I am very happy with the victory ”.
Tight for Villarreal
“We have had great players in front of us, players of a high quality like Samu or Moreno who are great footballers. They have carried a lot of danger but we have known how to counteract it. Villarreal is a team that has always had high-quality people at the top. They have a lot of danger ahead and we control it ”.
Clean sheet
“That was very important. We had already played many games without leaving a clean sheet and that is something that gives us a lot of confidence for what we have left ”.
The goal
“I was sure it wasn't a foul, but I didn't know if it was offside or not. In the end the VAR has scored the goal. I hope they give it to me because since the match against Juventus I had not scored ”.
Joao Celebration
“Joao didn't get mad at anyone. He is a very talented player. We need his best version because he is a different player and he is going to make a difference ”.
Looking at the derby
“This victory is sure to give us confidence, because we have returned to the path where we have been before and now we are looking forward to the derby.”
