It is worth paying attention that Villarreal hasn't lost once since the season's resumption: two wins in the Spanish Cup and two in the national championship, and a draw with Celta in the last round of La Liga. The statistics are excellent; the Yellows should not be underestimated, especially against the background of the recent victory over the Cream. It should be noted that Villarreal was eliminated in the Spanish Cup last season in the round of 16; in their history, the Yellows have never won the Cup of the country.
