Villarreal CF returned from Dortmund with a defeat to Borussia Dortmund by 3-2, in the club's debut match in the Champions League this season. Despite not earning points in the European competition, the team presented very different sensations compared to their last two commitments in the Spanish League.
This defeat represents the third consecutive defeat for Villarreal in official competition, in addition to already having five games without winning. The team's bad moment was evident in the recent LaLiga rounds, where they suffered defeat against Alavés by 1-0 and against Deportivo de A Coruña by 2-3.
However, the article indicates that the performance in Dortmund allowed Villarreal to recover some of the lost ground after these setbacks. The team showed improvements in their playing identity, although coach Iñigo seems aware that more changes are still needed to solve the team's problems.
