Quotes
“The first half was normal and the second half was marked by many circumstances. The injury to (Antonio) Sivera, which fortunately was just a scare, and from then on there was very little play, a lot of stoppage time," Villarreal manager Marcelino García Toral said after his side's defeat to Alaves.
"The Alavés players were on the floor for a long time, but that’s normal considering what they’re playing for. We didn’t know how to play that final stretch. Our start and all that time with numerical superiority is far from the way we should be.
"When that happens, it’s normal for the result to be a negative one. We have to congratulate Alavés and we have to correct our mistakes, as we made a lot of them in this game."
Head-to-Head
Madrid secured a 2-0 win over Villarreal in their last meeting in La Liga, which took place at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu on 5 October.
Therefore, Los Blancos are undefeated in their last three league matches against the Yellow Submarine, having registered one draw and two victories.
