Player Ratings: Villarreal 6-3 AaB Aalborg

VILLARREAL

Diego López 5.5: Not directly at fault for any of the goals but might have organised his back line a bit better at the corner for the third.

Ángel López 6.5: A real Jekyll-and-Hyde performance from Ángel. In the first half he was often out of position with no end product to show for it, but in the second his interplay with Cazorla was excellent.

Gonzalo Rodríguez 5.5: Not the sort of showing that his is capable of by any means. Clearly missed his regular defensive line.

Fuentes 4: Amateurish stuff from the Argentine at times. Was at fault, along with Gonzalo, for the second goal, and overall he was too clumsy.

Capdevila 6.5: Other than his goal - and what a goal that was - this was not the best of games for Joan, who was caught between positions too often.

Santi Cazorla 7.5: Back on form in terms of his runs but little end product until AaB had tired. Still, there is little doubting his invention and drive. If only he had a left foot...

Edmílson 6: Some good long diagonals but was caught out on the counter in the first half. Not the calming influence he should have been.

Senna 7.5: Could do little on the ball until that decisive shot for Llorente's third, yet as always he knew his defensive role and how to fill it.

Mati Fernández 6.5: A few fantastic runs but he was correctly substituted due to a lack of final ball.

Guille Franco 5: A tetchy showing and one that was rightly rewarded with being hooked at half-time. He will know he wasn't good enough.

Rossi 7.5: Did well to open the scoring for his side and he drifted out well towards the end of the game.
