According to Marca, Villarreal coach Iñigo said after the team's loss that he would not be satisfied with the team's performance, even if they had won.

Speaking about the team paying the price for mistakes, Iñigo said: "I agree. However, beyond these mistakes that can happen in a football match, we need to examine and correct other issues. Because even if we hadn't made mistakes and won the game, I might still feel similarly. I feel we are missing something, and that is what I, as a coach, am looking for—perhaps we haven't found it yet."

Iñigo said that even if the team won, he would not be satisfied: "Regarding referee decisions, I will not comment, whether for or against us—I will always remain neutral. Of course, I acknowledge that we are once again hampered by a lack of clinical finishing at both ends of the pitch. Beyond the fact that we are clearly inferior to our opponents in front of goal and they capitalized on their chances, we need to reflect deeply. Because even if we win, I won't feel satisfied. I've been thinking this throughout the game, and of course, the team also has some positive aspects worth retaining."

Speaking about the poor start, Iñigo said: "The start was terrible, there's no need to sugar-coat it—it's frustrating, bitter, and it makes us suffer. When this happens, we must face the facts, analyze them, find the problems, and then work hard to improve, even if it's difficult. We have a very demanding match on Tuesday in a competition we really want to be in, so there's no time to dwell on regrets. We must analyze deeply on an individual level. As a coach, I repeat: beyond mistakes and the lack of clinical finishing at both ends of the pitch, even if we had won today, I would feel uneasy."

Speaking about the away match against Borussia Dortmund, Iñigo said: "Professional players are capable of regaining their confidence within two days. They know they have done this many times; they know they have the ability to seize opportunities, create chances, and they know they can win at Borussia Dortmund. I'm not worried about this—I know they will be ready. However, our early-season performances have sent us signals and warnings, and we must address these problems as soon as possible to prevent them from recurring. As a coach, I also need to provide more convincing arguments."

Regarding Nico Pepe's performance, Iñigo said: "One of the positive aspects is the emergence of one of our players. I think he played a very important match. Although his playing time was limited, he showed vitality and quality, which is a positive factor to build on, and I hope he can inspire others."

In self-criticism, Iñigo said: "It's not that I don't want to answer this question, but I think today we should focus on the problems that need to be corrected and have been holding us back. We all know our positive aspects internally; there's no need to repeat them. What's important is to maintain these strengths and directly address the problems that are occurring. To do this, we can only rely on truth and unity, and not allow ourselves or the players to detach from the team. I believe that unity is our only strength, and only in this way can we move forward step by step and eventually celebrate together."
