Villarreal midfielder, Etienne Capoue has come out to say that he and his teammates never had the audacity to say they could win the UCL months ago. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, the fact is that Villarreal is the smallest club in the semi-finals and was the smallest club in the quarter-finals, so the club has absolutely nothing to lose at this point.
Capoue added that Villarreal is not a big team but a very a solid team that is capable of causing another upset.
His words, “Winning the Champions League? We never had the audacity to say we could win the Champions League,”
“We’re the smallest club in the semi-finals, we were the smallest club in the quarter-finals. We’re just making our merry way. And we have nothing to lose.”
“We’re in the semis which shows we weren’t afraid of Juventus or Bayern. We don’t care, we know we’re underdogs.”
“We’re not a big team but we’re a solid team, playing for the love of football, that wants to enjoy this moment. Because what we’re experiencing is incredible.”
“Nobody will say we’re favourites because we’re not. Who are the other teams? What else can we say about them?”
“It’s not offending anyone to say there are 50,000 people here [in the city of Villarreal] and in their stadiums alone, they have 70,000 seats. We don’t mind, it’s the truth.”
