"There were two match plans conditioned by Real Sociedad. In the first half we played further back than we wanted to and it was difficult for us to get out," Unai Emery, the Villarreal manager, said.
 
"The key was to get on the counter-attack and we didn't. In the second half we had to do something else. In the second half we had to do something else. We tried to go forward and open the game up a bit more. 
 
"We had our chances, but they didn't go in. Our first half was poor and I take responsibility for that. We weren't able to hurt them. They were better than us throughout the game."
