Barcelona, January 8
This will be one for Quique Setien to savour. His Villarreal beat Real Madrid 2-1 on Saturday in a victory that will help rehabilitate the credentials of a coach who spent more than two years away from football following his short and painful stint in charge of Barcelona.
The pulsating Spanish league match at Villarreal’s remodeled Estadio de la Ceramica could have ended with more goals, especially for the all-yellow hosts.
