FORM

"I feel good, I'm happy to have recovered well from the World Cup and to be back with my club. I'm in top form to help the team."

VILLARREAL

"The weather is great, the stadium is magnificent... it all looks perfect for the game! Villarreal are a great team. They have probably deserved more than their results suggest so far, especially against Borussia Dortmund and Liverpool. They like to have the possession and know how to control a game. We always want to win and we want to rely on ourselves to do that. We are also aware that every game is different in the Champions League. This is the highest level. You can never afford to be overconfident for these games."
