Quotes
“It's a shame because we wanted to have Champions League chances until the last game. The heavy rain affected our style of play," Villarreal manager Quique Setien said after their defeat to Vallecano.
"We always try to be at the forefront with the ball and the pitch was very difficult to play on, especially in the first half. It's true that in the second-half Rayo were effective and knew how to take advantage of their moment.
“It has a lot of merit and we have to appreciate what we have achieved. With three games to go, we had qualified for Europe. In the end, we finished fifth and the season has to be appreciated."
