Vicente Iborra appeared in front of the Villarreal TV microphones after the draw with Real Madrid at the Estadio de la Cerámica (1-1). "We competed against the current champions really well. We had chances to win the game. We lacked a bit of cutting edge in front of goal, but we're leaving happy. We fought back from a very early goal and we continued with our match plan, taking control and having the ball."

Despite facing a difficult opponent, the Yellows No.10 hailed the Submarine's performance against Los Blancos: "It wasn't easy. They are a very strong team, a team it's hard to create chances against. We were able to do that, especially in the second half , when we had chances to come away with the win."
