Villarreal CF have prepared a series of activities for the important UEFA Europa League Semi-final first leg against Liverpool FC, to be played at El Madrigal, to make it a truly unforgettable occasion (Thursday, 9:05pm CET). The club will give out 20,000 free scarves At the El Madrigal stadium entrances 20,000 scarves will be given out for free to Yellows fans, which feature the \u2018Yellow Submarine\u2019 motto. The aim is for fans to wave their scarves around in the air to create one big yellow wave as both teams walk out of the tunnel and onto the pitch. What\u2019s more, the commemorative match scarves, made up of both teams\u2019 colours, are already for sale in the official shops at only 10 euros each (see picture). The \u2018Yellow Submarine\u2019 song will be played before the match Right before the players walk out onto the pitch The Beatles\u2019 \u2018Yellows Submarine\u2019 song (1966) will be played on El Madrigal stadium\u2019s loudspeakers. This song has been linked to the history of Villarreal CF since the 1967\/68 season when the club was playing for promotion to the Third Division once again, an objective they would go on to achieve in that campaign. Meanwhile, a group of young fans started to play this Beatles song on a battery powered record player during matches. And they sang it with their own lyrics: \u201cAmarillo es el Villarreal \/ amarillo es \/ amarillo es\u201d (\u201cVillarreal are yellow \/ they are yellow \/ they are yellow\u201d). The Yellows will pay tribute to the Hillsborough victims Villarreal CF and their fans will pay tribute to the victims of the tragedy that happened at the Hillsborough stadium on 15th April 1989 in Sheffield, when 96 people died as they were crushed against the stadium\u2019s fencing after too many fans were allowed to enter the away stand. This disaster took place during the match between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest in the 1989 FA Cup Semi-final. The 96 people who passed away were all Liverpool fans.
