As the season progresses, Villarreal's coach has set his sights on securing a place in the UEFA Champions League next season.
Speaking to reporters ahead of this weekend's match against Real Madrid, Quique Setién emphasized the importance of securing a spot in Europe's premier club competition.
"We want to qualify for the Champions League," he said. "It's our aim and we're working hard towards it."
Setién believes that the team is well-equipped to achieve this goal, with a strong squad and a clear strategy in place.
He also acknowledged the challenges that lie ahead, but was optimistic about the future.
"Every game is important," he added. "We need to focus on each one and try to win them all. But we know that there will be tough opponents along the way."
The coach also spoke about the importance of playing at home, where the team can give their best performance.
"Our fans are a big part of what we do," he said. "They help us to perform at our best, so we'll make sure to play in front of them this weekend."
With just three games remaining in the league campaign, Villarreal now finds itself in a tight battle for a top-four finish.
But Setién remains focused on the task at hand, and is determined to secure a Champions League place come May.
"It's going to be a tough fight," he admitted. "But we have the quality and the experience to compete with anyone."
Overall, Setién's comments suggest that Villarreal is fully committed to achieving its aim of qualifying for the Champions League, and is prepared to do whatever it takes to get there.
