In the 37th round of La Liga, Villarreal defeated Barcelona 3-2 away and qualified for the Champions League next season in advance. Villarreal player Parejo was interviewed after the game.

Parejo first said: "I think it's a beautiful and difficult season. We worked hard most of the season, we deserved this result, and we had a wonderful year. We wanted to compete for fourth place, but we didn't do it in the end." However, this season, the fifth place in La Liga this season can also compete in the Champions League next season.

Barcelona has already won the championship early, Parejo continued: "We know our opponents are La Liga champions, but their mentality is not as usual, they think about other things in their minds... We rely entirely on ourselves, being able to beat the league championship away and achieve our goals, which is always even more joyful. We still strive to win when we are behind in the scores, and although it means we have the possibility of losing the game, this is the spirit of our team."

Finally Parejo said: "I understand that they will try to form a competitive team to meet the next season, and the Champions League is always demanding very high. We have a very good team, which has been proven. We should have a great vacation and be rejuvenated to prepare for the next season."
