Villarreal CF Manager, Fran Escribá, praised his players’ job well done that got them the win against Atlético Madrid thanks to a goal by Soriano. For the Manager, the team’s effort and solid performance were so important: “I’m really satisfied. We knew that we were going to suffer and any goal could get us the win.

Winning at the Calderón is extremely meritable”.
