However, the Hungarian was ruled out of the fixture after a group of four masked intruders, armed with pistols, broke into their luxury home, which is located on an estate north of Valencia.
Former Liverpool goalkeeper Peter Gulacsi missed Villarreal's Champions League fixture after he and his family were held at gunpoint during a home robbery in Puzol, Spain. Four masked intruders armed with pistols broke into the house hours before Tuesday's match, reportedly ordering Gulacsi to open a safe containing valuables. No injuries were reported, and the intruders fled the scene in two luxury vehicles.
The ordeal forced the 36-year-old Hungarian goalkeeper to withdraw from Villarreal's matchday squad. Despite his absence, the Spanish side earned a 3-1 victory against Napoli at the Estadio de la Ceramica. Gulacsi moved to Villarreal in August after an 11-year spell at German club RB Leipzig, while police continue their investigation into the robbery.
