Sergi Cardona's Villarreal dreams of a historic milestone: will it be able to overcome its own limits?

The yellow submarine winger trusts his team to secure a place in the Champions League and fight for third place with Atlético de Madrid

Villarreal is in the center of attention this season, and no wonder. With third place in the table, currently occupied by Atlético de Madrid, and with a solid fight to qualify for the next edition of the Champions League, Quique Setién's men dream of a season that could go down in the history of the club. One of the great protagonists of this good moment is Sergi Cardona, who spoke optimistically at a press conference about what is to come.

The yellow submarine winger was confident that the team is in a position to sign a historic campaign, and highlighted the great work done throughout the course. “We have it in our power to have a historic season,” Cardona commented. With an outstanding performance, Villarreal is very close to equaling or even surpassing its record for points in a single campaign, which is 77 points. This makes clear the great collective work that has been done so far and the ambition to move forward, especially with the horizon of the Champions League getting closer and closer.

The Catalan footballer highlighted that ambition is the key to continuing with his sights set on third place. “It is a time to have ambition and be able to go for that goal,” he said, referring to the possibility of reaching a place on the podium, a goal that currently has Atlético de Madrid as a direct competitor. “Being in April and playing our chances of being third, I think it speaks very well of the team and its work,” he highlighted, reaffirming that Villarreal is willing to fight until the end for that coveted place.

Cardona also took the opportunity to highlight how beneficial the break for the FIFA national team window has been. For the players who were not called up, as is their case, it has been an opportunity to regain energy for the final stretch of the season. “We have been able to recharge our batteries and it has gone well for us. I think that this break has not been a bad thing to gain strength and face this final stretch with great enthusiasm,” explained the defender.

Now, with three consecutive trips in sight, Villarreal will have to show its best version away from home if it wants to keep its aspirations alive. Cardona knows that the team has to take a step forward if they want to continue aspiring to third place. “We must take a step forward away from home, because if we don't it will be difficult to reach that third place,” said the full-back. For him, the most important thing is not to lose his head and focus on the next game, which will be against Girona. “We must focus on the Girona match, prepare it well, and when it is over we will think about the next one,” he indicated pragmatically. The game-by-game approach seems to be the best way to continue dreaming big.

Villarreal has been solid at home throughout the season, and Cardona knows that maintaining that strength at home will be key to continuing in the fight. “I think the important thing is to look at the next game,” he said. The full-back made it clear that the focus must always be on the present, and in this case, on scoring points against Girona, a team that will also fight to stay at the top of the table. “Be focused on the Girona field and score points there,” he concluded.

The revelation of Pau Navarro: a gem that promises more

In the personal section, Sergi Cardona could not help but praise his young teammate, Pau Navarro, who is shining in his first full season in the top category. The young talent has managed to carve out a place for himself in the first team with outstanding performance, and Cardona, who has known him since his arrival at the club, did not hesitate to praise his quality and maturity on the field. “Pau, since I saw him last year, I realized very quickly the level he has. The quality and maturity he has on the field when he plays,” Cardona commented.

The full-back believes that Navarro has all the necessary conditions to succeed in elite football. “I think he has the conditions and the head to be able to do it,” he added, highlighting not only the young man's football talent, but also his attitude off the field. “He is also a very good kid and I am very happy for him and for the things he can do,” concluded the defender, making it clear that he sees Pau Navarro as one of the great promises of Spanish football.

In summary, Villarreal is at a key moment in the season, with the possibility of making history if it manages to secure qualification for the Champions League and, why not, reach third place in the standings. With players like Sergi Cardona, who are ambitious and motivated, and with young talents like Pau Navarro, the yellow submarine has reasons to dream big at the end of the season. The key, without a doubt, will be to maintain concentration and strength both at home and away, and not miss a single opportunity.
