Villarreal defender Juan Foyth has played down his heroics in the Champions League.
Foyth’s performance in the quarterfinal success against Bayern Munich is rated by some the best of his career.
Asked if he agreed, the Argentine laughed: “No. For me they were not my best games, but they are a quarterfinal of the Champions League, perhaps many people do not watch all the games and get carried away by two or three games. The truth is that in the first leg I felt good, the second game I suffered at times, I always said that Coman is one of the most unbalanced for me and at times I suffered, but you have to know how to enjoy those moments, suffer all together, as a team.
“Perhaps on a personal level it wasn’t my best game but I really enjoyed the series because of what we did, we were all together against one of the best teams in Europe and we were able to pull it off together.”
Villarreal now meet Liverpool in the semifinals.
Foyth continued: “We still don’t know how they’re going to play but we’re calm because the coaching staff is going to prepare us with all due respect and with many hours of work.
“We are going to give 100 per cent, we know that they are a top-level team, that comes from beating City, United, they are a very strong team offensively and they are very organised at the back.
“Of all the teams in Europe it seems to me the most balanced. Against Luis Díaz, Mané, Salah… I haven’t faced them yet, I respect them as they should be, they are top-level players, but we’ll see what happens.”
