The Yellows thrashed CD Legan\u00e9s (3-0) in a fantastic display from Marcelino\u2019s team, who, spurred on by their fans, once again danced to the rhythm of La Morocha at La Cer\u00e1mica. This time to put the Champions League within reach. The goals came from Ayoze, twice, and Nicolas Pepe. After the stunning 0-1 victory at Montilivi, thanks to a last-gasp goal from Etta Eyong, the Submarine returned to the Estadio de la Cer\u00e1mica in the midst of the Sant Pasqual festivities to seek a fourth consecutive LALIGA victory and take a big step toward their ambitious and exciting goal of reaching the Champions League. Marcelino\u2019s team faced CD Legan\u00e9s, who came into the match in a difficult situation. The side from Madrid are immersed in the fight to avoid relegation with just three matches left of the season. Only four days after the last league match, Marcelino brought Alfonso Pedraza and Dani Parejo into the starting XI, both of whom were on the bench in Girona. The fans, animated from the first minute, provided a great atmosphere to push Villarreal forward. Aware of what was at stake and caught up in the spectacular atmosphere in the stands, the team went all out from the opening whistle. Baena tried first, with a shot that missed the target. Cisse then responded with a promising shot that went just wide. Both teams had a chance to open the scoring before the first quarter of an hour was up. Villarreal wanted to have the ball early on, and Legan\u00e9s stifled their pressure. Raba and Neyou tested Luiz J\u00fanior\u2019s reflexes.
