Statements from Pellegrini

“We were playing well until Kameni was sent off.  Playing with just 10 men and conceding a penalty, gave Villarreal a renewed confidence and improved game play, when they hadn’t had a shot at goal beforehand.  We played a better match than the local side, despite their second goal.  It was just unfortunate that we didn’t come away with the three points”.
 
“We had several chances to seal a win, but failed.  Playing at home and in front of their fans, Villarreal’s equaliser saw them take control of the game and score the second goal in stoppage time”.
 
“Our objectives remain the same in every match.  We had the chance to win this match, but the advantage to our rivals is minimal, and now we’re focused on getting three points against Real Sociedad”.
