Villarreal CF secured a 3-1 victory over SSC Napoli at the Estadio de la Cerámica, overcoming an early deficit to end their 12-match winless streak in European competition. Although Napoli took an early lead through Rrahmani, Villarreal responded with goals from Mikautadze and Mouriño to secure the win. Manager Íñigo Pérez praised the squad's tactical adaptation and resilience, noting that the victory provides a significant boost to confidence. The win comes despite the absence of goalkeeper Péter Gulácsi, who was ruled out following an armed robbery at his home in the Monasterios residential area of Puçol, Valencia. Luiz Junior started in goal for the fixture. New details regarding the robbery on the night of October 12 indicate that three or four armed perpetrators entered the property through a garage window. The incident lasted approximately 40 minutes, during which the attackers threatened Gulácsi and his wife at gunpoint to force them to open a safe while their children slept in another room. While no family members were physically injured, the thieves escaped in luxury vehicles with mobile phones and valuables estimated to be worth approximately 200,000 euros, including Rolex watches and luxury bags from brands such as Hermès and Chanel. Gulácsi has expressed the “significant psychological trauma” caused by the event on social media. The Guardia Civil has launched an investigation to identify the perpetrators and determine how they bypassed the security of the gated community. Following the incident, Gulácsi has since returned to action for Villarreal CF, appearing in a 0-0 draw against Elche. After the match, the Hungarian goalkeeper expressed gratitude to fans for their support, stating, “It is hard to put into words what we have been through in the last few days,” and noted his relief that his family is safe.
