In the last 20 years, the Yellows\u2019 stadium has been the home to four European semi-finals, and goals that will forever remembered, like Rodolfo Arruabarrena\u2019s against Inter Milan in 2006, or Adri\u00e1n L\u00f3pez\u2019s ten years later against Liverpool FC. With so many memories, Villarreal CF\u2019s European adventure started on 7th July 2002. That evening, the Submarine hosted FH Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur at what was then called El Madrigal. The match against the Icelandic side was the first leg of the second round of the Intertoto Cup. Villarreal, managed by V\u00edctor Mu\u00f1oz, took to the El Madrigal pitch with the following lineup: L\u00f3pez Vallejo, Galv\u00e1n, Quique \u00c1lvarez, Unai, Arruabarrena, Jorge L\u00f3pez, Galca, Calleja, Palermo, Guayre, V\u00edctor Fern\u00e1ndez. The Yellows were better than their opponents, winning 2-0 thanks to goals from V\u00edctor and Galv\u00e1n. The Yellows looked like they had the tie in the back before heading to Iceland, more than 3,000km from Vila-real. There, the Submarine drew against Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur (2-2), who went ahead twice. Jorge L\u00f3pez and Galca were the men who scored for Villarreal on Icelandic soil to seal the place in the next round of the 2002 Intertoto Cup. Nearly 18 years later, Villarreal have played 170 games in Europe, with 81 wins, 47 draws and 42 defeats.
