Villarreal record the best first half of a season in their history in the top flight

With one match still to be played, the Submarine have reached 41 points and surpassed their best-ever tally after 19 matchdays

After an impressive and valuable victory over Deportivo Alavés (3–1), Villarreal CF have secured the best first half of a season in their history in the Primera División.

With the postponed match against Levante UD still to be played, the Submarine have reached an outstanding total of 41 points, surpassing the club’s previous best records, achieved in the 2010/11 and 2015/16 seasons, the latter during Marcelino’s first spell in charge of the Yellow Submarine.

Thanks to this important win against the Babazorros, the Groguets have consolidated third place in LALIGA EA Sports and remain firmly on track to qualify for the UEFA Champions League once again next season.
