An honour. Moi Gómez became the man to score against Granada tonight Villarreal’s 1000th goal in Primera. The Yellow Submarine finished last season with 998 goals in the top flight of Spanish football, meaning that upon scoring their second at the Estadio de la Cerámica, they reached the magic number, which is so hard to reach. After the 4-4, Villarreal have 1,002 goals in Primera.
Villarreal have played 723 games in the top flight of Spanish football, scoring 589 goals at home and 413 away.
