El Villarreal afronta el reto de poder clasificarse para la final de la Liga de Campeones, para lo que el equipo amarillo debe remontar un resultado de dos goles adverso. Un reto complicado, pero no imposible, para un equipo que se apunta a soñar con una gran noche europea. Con el cartel de no hay billetes colgado, los amarillos quieren alcanzar su primera final de la mano de sus aficionados.
Pau Torres es el referente de todos los niños de Vila-real ya que, después de empezar desde pequeño en las categorías inferiores del Villarreal, va a defender a su equipo y a su ciudad en el campo y en una semifinal de Champions. La del defensa amarillo es una de esas historias que normalmente no ocurren. No es fácil que en una ciudad tan pequeña como Vila-real (50.000 habitantes) haya un jugador de la casa que pueda estar en el primer equipo y que éste llegue a jugar una semifinal de este nivel.
Lo dice el himno del Villarreal: La il·lusió de tot un poble (La ilusión de todo un pueblo). O mejor dicho, la ilusión de todos los pueblos: que su equipo juegue una final de la Champions. Un milagro en el 99,99% de los casos. El céntimo que falta es el Villarreal, el orgullo de un pueblo de 50.577 habitantes que, por segunda vez en su historia, está a 90 minutos de lograrlo ().
Unai Emery insisted on Monday Villarreal are not playing for pride but believe they can beat Liverpool and still reach the Champions League final, despite their 2-0 defeat in the first leg last week.
Pau Torres has warned Liverpool that their Champions League semi-final tie is far from over ahead of the second leg at Villarreal on Tuesday night.
Unai Emery insisted on Monday Villarreal are not playing for pride but believe they can beat Liverpool and still reach the Champions League final, despite their 2-0 defeat in the first leg last week. Villarreal were undone by two goals in two minutes in the second half at Anfield as Liverpool took a giant step towards making their third Champions League final in five years. But Emery is adamant that Villarreal, who knocked out Juventus in the last 16 and Bayern Munich in the quarter-finals, can still turn the tie around at La Ceramica on Tuesday.
Villarreal aim to rekindle the spirit that saw off Juventus and Bayern Munich when they bid to overturn a 2-0 deficit in their Champions League semi-final second leg against Liverpool on Tuesday. A 2-1 LaLiga loss to lowly Alaves was not ideal preparation and coach Unai Emery knows how hard it will be to beat Liverpool, who have only lost three matches this season in all competitions and none by more than two goals. "We will need a perfect game to achieve what no other team in Europe accomplished against Liverpool this season," Emery told a news conference on Monday.
