Quotes
"We struggled to win the ball back. We tried to win it back in the opposition half, but we lacked balance and that's why we conceded three goals. Villarreal play very well with the ball and they force you out of position," Ancelotti said after their clash with Villarreal.
"We took the lead twice, but we weren't able to score a third and we lost the game. The lack of balance was key. We didn't deserve to lose although we could have played much better. Physically the team is fine and, having so many chances.
"We didn't really deserve to lose but we lacked the balance we've had in recent games. We took the lead on two occasions and should have been more consistent. Our level in the league has dropped compared to last year."
