Villarreal coach Ernesto Valverde insists his side still have it all to do following their 1-1 draw away to Celta Vigo in the first leg of the Copa del Rey fifth round.
The Yellow Submarine lead through Giuseppe Rossi before Arthuro levelled for the hosts just before the interval and Valverde said his side had to work hard for the result.
"We could play our game and that is credit to them. The result is okay because they played very hard and took risks. It was a brilliant match, but very difficult. At least we managed to score away from home, but nothing is decided yet, which is what we expected," he told a press conference.
"We could not play because they did not let us. What is clear is that if someone thought this tie would be plain sailing can forget that because Celta have proved to be a good team."

GOOOOOAL MILAN! And what a strike it was from Kevin-Prince Boateng! Here's our match commentator with the details:
"AC Milan go 1-0 up!
"Kevin-Prince Boateng is slid through on goal on the right side of the penalty area, chesting the ball down beautifully before smashing it in via the underside of the crossbar. A superb goal!"
