"It was a great day for Villarreal, we paid tribute to José Manuel Llaneza on the pitch, the place where he was with us," Unai Emery, the Villarreal manager, said after their win over Almeria.
 
"In aspects of the game there has been a bit of everything, but today there has been heart and with heart you also win games. We had the belief that with an open game and with one less player, we could win.
 
“Today we have freed [Nicolas] Jackson a little bit of responsibility and that's why we have been able to see him as a loser. He scored two goals, one valid and one offside, and he has to evolve so that his work for the team can be transformed into effectiveness.”
 
The last meeting between Bilbao and Villarreal in a league match was on 9 April 2022.
 
The encounter which was played at the fifth-largest in the Valencian Community, Estadio de la Cerámica ended in a 1-1 draw.
