Javier Villar was the player who broke the deadlock. The midfielder arrived late into the box from a corner kick in Albacete’s favor and made it 1–0 for the team from La Mancha, sending an early warning to Real Madrid. The visitors fell victim to the so-called “law of the ex,” the unwritten rule that says a former player will always be the one to haunt you – and Villar chose to celebrate his goal.

That celebration became a talking point on El Larguero on Cadena SER, where Villar was asked directly about it.

“At the end of the day, it’s a goal… I don’t think I have to apologize,” he said. “I didn’t do anything with the first team that would require an apology, and I don’t think many people even remember me. Now I’m at Albacete, and this is the club where I’m happy.”

The player, who has recently been deployed as a center back, also spoke on air about two other familiar names: Tomás Roncero and Carlos Alcaraz. Of the deputy editor of AS, Villar said he was “a legend,” adding that Roncero has followed him on Instagram since his academy days. As for Alcaraz, Villar explained that they know each other personally and may have exchanged congratulatory messages. “I know Alcaraz because he’s from the town next to mine, and we have a good relationship. When he won Roland Garros, we had a party together – it was madness, we were so happy,” he said.
