Gero Rulli, Villarreal's goalkeeper, said that this Saturday's game against Madrid proved that Villarreal can compete against any team. He also promised that they will compete like that on Wednesday against United at Old Trafford.

Villarreal failed to get the win against Real Madrid on Saturday's 0-0 game, however 'The Yellow Submarine' is proud. They were able to drain Ancelotti's side, one of the most powerful teams in LaLiga.

"We are excited to continue and compete to get the win, we don't care if we are not the favorites", said Rulli about their Champions League clash against Manchester United.

The team now looks forward to that Champions League game. "We have a clear idea of what our manager wants from us and I believe we are close to start winning games. Against Real Madrid it wasn't enough, but we are happy for the chances we created".

Villarreal has played six league games and one Champions League game and every game, except the Elche win on Wednesday, ended up in a draw.
