What They're Saying
Villarreal full-back Mario Gaspar (via Inside Spanish Football): "We'll be setting ourselves for a similar game to the one at their place. They're a side who look after the ball well and are fast on the counter-attack. We'll have to do everything well if we're to beat them and I think we can do that. It will be good if we can keep a clean sheet too because whenever we do that, all we need to do then is score goals."
"All we're thinking about is winning this game because we know there's a lot to play for," he added. "What happens elsewhere or later, we'll see whether we're top of the group or not. We'll be trying to take these points and after that, we'll be thinking about our next game in La Liga against Córdoba."
