Here are the key points of what the Basque manager had to say: Into the Round of 16! \u201cIt\u2019s the third time that Villarreal have reached the Champions League last 16 and I think it\u2019s something to be proud of on a professional level because of what we represent. Seeing both Fernando Roigs, father and sun, and Llaneza too, all of them so happy, shows the satisfaction after the wait. We\u2019re a consistent team in Europe and we\u2019re going head-to-head with the best. For us, it was a challenge to see how far we could go. We\u2019re finding consistency and credibility which we need to show in LaLiga too.\u201d The game plan \u201cWe needed to be an organised team and win duels to find spaces where we could run and win the game. We had to know how to dig in, and always be on our feet after blows we could suffer. Today we were able to stay focused after their two goals. They did nearly get the third, because that\u2019s how they play, and we had spoken about that before.\u201d Possible oppnoents \u201cNow, any opponent is difficult. We need to enjoy ourselves, but compete at the same time. The nice thing is being there, among the best, with the future Champions League winner. We competed well against Manchester United and Atalanta, and to have knocked them out has a lot of merit.\u201d Gerard \u201cThe presence of certain players gives us security. Different players give us different things. Gerard can receive the ball deep, while Danjuma can receive it long. It\u2019s true that when Gerard wasn\u2019t fit, we lacked a few things.
