Villareal coach Manuel Pellegrini seemed in disbelief after his team's 5-0 defeat at the hands of third division side Poli Ejido in the Spanish Cup on Wednesday.
Pellegrini was made to pay for his decision to rest all first team stars, as they were heavily punished by the underdogs.
"I'm very very surprised. Nobody expected a result like this, but obviously Ejido had a bigger motive than us,"
Pellegrini told Villareal's official website after the game.
On his side, the Yellow Submarines' president Fernando Roig stated that the defeat was too heavy too bear.
"I felt embarrassed by the team's performance," Roig said.
"We did not do anything well and when it’s like that it’s hard to win. Coming back from this will be very difficult, not to say impossible.”
Villareal will be hoping to forget the Cup disappointment when they travel to face Atletico Bilbao on November first.
