Here is a selection of FC Barcelona´s coach Frank Rijkaard´s post match comments in the official press conference:

We have started the game well at a difficult ground, creating chances, but we have not managed to score and, in contrast, Villarreal have. If you do not score you know your opponent can at any moment. After the first goal everything became complicated because Villarreal have closed up the spaces very well. We have tried to change the result but we were unable to.

The attitude of the players had been good, but we have not made the difference with a goal. It is a pity, because we have worked hard but we have not fulfilled our aims.

Each game in which we cannot overcome our opponents is an opportunity lost, but we have to continue working towards winning games and adding points, because there are still important games and we have to keep on going forward.
