ALEIX VIDAL: 'WE DESERVED THE THREE POINTS'

Aleix Vidal appeared in front of the media after the draw against Villarreal. The Catalan wing-back stated the team deserved more than one point: 'It was a back-and-forth game, we deserved the three points, and it's also important to keep a clean sheet.'

Going into a deeper analysis, Aleix commented 'there were various phases. We created more shots on goal, but at the end of the day you have to keep on working. A draw is good as you pick up a point. Villarreal has spent many seasons in the top eight and we knew they would make life difficult for us.

To finish, he commented on the importance of Thursday's game which is also at home: 'We have to finish off the tie, but they're a very physical team that never stops fighting. We hope the fans will be just as amazing as they were today.'
