Unai Emery, the Villarreal manager, reflected on their narrow defeat to Valencia and he rued their missed chances. 
 
“It is a missed opportunity to secure the three points. Victory has escaped us in the end," Emery said. 
 
"We have not started the game well, but we have had chances and, with 1-0, we have not been able to win the match. 
 
"In the last minutes, the penalty play gave them strength and the counterattack gave us the winning goal." 
 
The last meeting between Eibar and Villarreal in a league encounter was on 19 September 2020. 

Villarreal emerged 2-1 winners over Eibar in a match which was played at the Estadio de la Cerámica.
