Marcelino ready to ‘enjoy and suffer’ against Man City

Villarreal manager Marcelino Garcia Toral promised his side would embrace both the joy and pain of hosting Manchester City in a Champions League clash at the Estadio de la Ceramica on Tuesday in which they will start as heavy underdogs.

After losing 1-0 at Tottenham Hotspur and salvaging a 2-2 home draw with Juventus, Villarreal are searching for their first win in this season’s competition.

“Now we have to enjoy it and suffer through it. If we want to grow, these matches are a learning experience. We hope to rise to the occasion in front of our fans and achieve a good result,” Marcelino told a press conference on Monday.
