Los diez m\u00e1s destacados son los siguientes:"},{"type":"list","style":"ol","items":["Semi-finals of the Premier League International Cup with Salem Al Dawsari. Villarreal B once more took part in the Premier League International Cup. The Yellows had a perfect group stage and beat Manchester United in the quarter-finals (0-2). They reached the semi-finals, where they fell on penalties after drawing 2-2 with Arsenal. It was Saudi Arabia international Salem Al Dawsari\u2019s debut in a Villarreal CF shirt.","Historias de Vida. One of the most emotional moments of 2018 was the Historias de Vida presentation. It was a project within Endavant Igualtat where the U16s A (Cadete A) collaborated with the Virgen de Gracia Retirement Home in Vila-real. It was an emotional initiative that looked back at the older people\u2019s lives with the help of the youngsters. The climax was the video which saw Pepe Serrano tell his story with the help of the academy player Pau. You can watch the video here: Historias de Vida.","The U12 Ladies Side, 2017\/18 league champions. The U12s Ladies Side (Alev\u00edn Femenino) were impressive as they won their league title. The Yellows were the only Yellows Academy side who went throughout the whole season unbeaten. They were paraded on the pitch at half-time at the Estadio de la Cer\u00e1mica during the first-team\u2019s clash with CD Legan\u00e9s.","Villarreal B, the best reserves side in Spain. Despite not winning a title during the season, 2017\/18 was Villarreal B\u2019s best season in recent memory. The Yellows Reserves, first under Javi Calleja and then Miguel \u00c1lvarez, were able to shine despite injuries, showing a fantastic level throughout the season, finishing second in the table, and qualifying for the Segunda Divisi\u00f3n promotion play-offs until the third knock-out game. Only Elche CF were able to put an end to the promotion dream. In fact, Villarreal B have been the best reserve side of 2018 in Segunda Divisi\u00f3n B, with 35 points at the start of the 2018\/19 season. This is better than the 32 points Real Madrid Castilla have in Group 1. After Villarreal and Real Madrid, Real Oviedo B have 32, Barcelona B and Atl\u00e9tico B have 28, Las Palmas Atl\u00e9tico have 24, Valladolid B have 23 and Celta B have 22.","The U12s A, COTIF champions. At the start of August 2018, Villarreal\u2019s U12s A (Alev\u00edn A) were named champions of COTIF Promesas ISTOBAL, the prestigious international football tournament in L\u2019Alc\u00fadia, after beating Sevilla CF 2-3. The Yellows\u2019 goals came from Jorge Casa\u00f1e, Alejandro P\u00e9rez and Miguel Garc\u00eda. The Mini Submarine finished with five wins, a draw and two losses throughout the whole tournament","The explosion of Samu Chukwueze. One of the stars of the moment for Villarreal is Samu Chukwueze. In just a few months, the Nigerian attacker went from featuring with the U19s A (Juvenil A) to being a key player for Villarreal B in the promotion play-offs. His impressive performances led to Calleja giving him an opportunity in the first-team, and he\u2019s one of the most important players for Luis Garc\u00eda\u2019s side. He has six goals this season (two for Villarreal B and four with the first team).","The great start for the Ladies First Team. Villarreal\u2019s Ladies First Team (Femenino A) started the season showing they mean business. Sara Monforte\u2019s side strengthened this season looking for promotion. Their start to the campaign has been impressive, sitting top of the table for a number of matchdays.","The record-breaking team: U14s A. Villarreal\u2019s U14s A (Infantil A) side have started the season in remarkable style. They are top of their league with record-breaking figures, 51 points from 17 matches, scoring 74 goals and letting in just one. Simply spectacular. The only team that managed to score against them was Lacross Babel on Matchday 13. Brilliant.","Aixa Salvador\u2019s treble and Marc Vidal, Nacho D\u00edas and Carlos Beitia becoming World Cup runners-up. It was an unforgettable 2018 for Aixa Salvador. The Ladies First Team player won the European U17 Championship and U17 World Cup with Spain U17s, as well as being crowned Spanish Champions with the Comunidad Valenciana. Furthermore, academy players Marc Vidal, Nacho D\u00edaz and Carlos Beitia were U17 World Cup runners up with Spain in India.","Top Ten 2018\/19 goals.
