The streak that Villarreal must break in Champions when Napoli visits La Cerámica

El Periódico Mediterráneo - General9 September 2026 at 19:40

Villarreal CF returned from Dortmund without points after a 3-2 defeat against Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League. Despite the negative result, the Spanish team showed arguments that allow them to believe they can compete on equal terms with the best European clubs.

The defeat left a more positive image than the result itself suggests, which gave confidence to Iñigo Pérez's squad for the next continental challenges. The Basque coach now has an outstanding account that will follow the team until the next commitment in the Champions.

Villarreal will have to break a negative streak when they host Napoli at the La Cerámica Stadium. This next game represents an opportunity for the Spanish team to earn their first points in this stage of the European competition.
