"I had a difficult first half of the season due to injury. I've been working to get my ankle back to full fitness," Valencia's Hugo Duro said after scoring against Crystal Palace in a friendly match on December 16.
"I feel better and this goal is helping me. I have a contract here. I'm very happy. The fans love me a lot. I'm very happy and if nobody tells me otherwise, I'm delighted to stay here for many years. I have suffered a lot mentally.
"I used to come home almost crying because I couldn't be at 100%. After these months that I've had a bad time, I can train and play comfortably."
The last league meeting between Villarreal and Valencia was on 19 April 2022.
Villarreal emerged as 2-0 winners over Valencia in a match that took place at Estadio de la CerĂ¡mica, formerly and informally called El Madrigal.
