Villarreal coach Manuel Pellegrini said he was satisfied by the 1-0 away defeat to Arsenal in the first-leg of their UEFA Champions League semi-finals although he was not content with the performance. "We didn't play too well tonight but it is not a bad result," Pellegrini told a press conference following Wednesday's match at Highbury Stadium. "Arsenal played quite well but we should have created better chances when we had the ball and I didn't think we controlled the game enough," he added. Arsenal grabbed a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Villarreal at home in the first-leg of the Champions League semis, to leave the tie wide open and keep the Spaniards hopes in qualification alive. Arsenal Ivorian defender Kolo Toure slotted the winner home four minutes from the interval after connecting with Alexander Hleb's low cross. The Chilean coach believes his side are capable of reaching the UCL final in Paris when they host Arsenal at the Madrigal in the return-leg. "We are still in contention and I believe we can go back home and get the result we need," he said.
