We suffered in the first half because they are very good. And in the second, little by little, we forced ourselves. These three points mean a lot,” he said.
Maturity test. “We know what we are at stake and what Villarreal was going to do to us. It was a very serious game from our side. It’s good that it seems that when you win, everything is clear, but nothing is clear.”
High pressure. “Each team has its own style and way of working. We feel comfortable in this way, although sometimes we have chosen a different height. It is because it is one of our strengths and we have to take risks apply, because we leave a lot of space, but that’s who we are.”

The atmosphere in San Mames. “Everyone is free to do what they want. It can be more or less encouraging depending on the day each person is having. It’s about them being happy with what we’re doing on the pitch. where we can influence, but we can’t achieve everything.”
Europe on Wednesday. “We don’t have much time to recover. We made 5 changes compared to Real Madrid day and it’s clear that we have to make changes too. Due to the competitor and the circumstances, it is a difficult way out. The idea is to play for the three points.”
