Villarreal, “it’s like the village of Asterix”, laughs Emery

The Spanish coach had a sense of the formula to qualify the feat of Villarreal who beat Bayern Munich in the quarter-finals of the C1.

Unai Emery (Villarreal coach, winner of Bayern 1-0, 1-1): “It’s an extraordinary feeling, it was not easy for us. We are a small club, from a village, like that of Asterix and Obelix. We are going step by step, we had a very difficult quarter-final. But our goal before this game was not to give a good image of us, it was to qualify. Against Bayern, there was a mental issue too. We knew that when Bayern start scoring, they can put on one goal after another. Salzburg had taken 7 here, but we had watched the way they played. With Juventus (in the round of 16 editor’s note) we have taken a step forward in terms of the game, but also in terms of self-confidence and belief in our possibilities. This qualification against Bayern made us take a new step. Tomorrow it will be Liverpool or Benfica, and I hope we have our chances too.
