1960s
Villarreal, 196 1-63, which falls into the regional level, has been fighting for promotion for two seasons. What makes people laugh and cry is that the team just won the third place twice and missed the promotion.
1966-67 season, the boys didn't miss the promotion opportunity-they won the regional league championship and successfully upgraded. In the following seasons, Villarreal gained a firm foothold in the third-class league and was promoted to the Spanish second-class football league with 1970 for the first time.
1970s
The 1970s was a sad decade for this team. In the first season of West B, the yellow submarine barely completed the relegation task; The good luck of the second year is no longer-the team ranks in the west B17-and falls into the third place in the league. In the next few years, Villarreal wandered in the middle and lower reaches of Spain and China.
1975-76 season, the team was relegated to the regional league. Fortunately, after this demotion, the team upgraded and returned to Xibing this season, and stayed in Xibing until the middle and late 1980s.

1990s
1990-9 1 season, the team advanced to Group B of West B again. Last season, the team won the qualification of Spanish Football League B with the second place in Group B of West B, and completed the "double jump". Villarreal has been in the second division since the 1992-93 season, and after several years of transition, it has gradually entered the forefront of the standings.
By the end of the season of 1997-98, the team ranked fourth in West B and won the last place to participate in the upgrade play-offs. The first leg was against Compostela Football Club in el madrigal, and the two sides drew a blank.
1On May 24th, 998, the second round was held at the San lazaro Stadium in Compostela. Alberto scored a priceless away goal for Villarreal, locking the total score at 1- 1, making this a significant day in the club's history.
After three-quarters of a century of long ups and downs, the yellow submarine finally entered the Spanish football league. On August 3rd165438, Villarreal played the first La Liga match with the star-studded Real Madrid at the Bernabeu Stadium. A week later, el madrigal opened his door to La Liga opponents, and the first visitor was Vigo Cheta. In that historic season, although the team started dreamily, the whole season was not ideal. The yellow submarine lost in the relegation play-offs after the season and returned to the West B, but this trip to the West B was only a short year.
In the cross-century season, the team won the third place in La Liga and returned to La Liga. The following year, Villarreal ended the season with an incredible seventh place in La Liga. But in the next two seasons (200 1-03), the team only ranked 15, which was on the verge of relegation.
In the summer of 2003, Villarreal won their first European trophy, the final of the International Toto Cup, and beat Helenfen of the Netherlands to win the trophy. This fantastic victory made the team enter the UEFA Cup for the first time. Since then, the team's performance has once again shocked the world. The yellow submarine reached the UEFA Cup semi-final all the way, and the whole of Europe felt the powerful energy emitted by this small town team from the Mediterranean. Villarreal ranked eighth in La Liga in 2003-04, just one step away from next season's UEFA Cup. Villarreal is rising rapidly, and people vaguely feel that something big will happen to this small team, and they really did it!
In the 2004-05 season, Yellow Submarine ranked third in La Liga with an incredible 65 points, second only to Barcelona and Real Madrid. This incredible achievement comes from the team spirit accumulated by the team and the phenomenal goal machine-Diego Forlan's strong joining. Twenty-five goals that season won Uruguay striker the European Golden Boot Award. That season, they once again rushed to the quarter-finals of the UEFA Cup.
The third place in La Liga made the team enter the most important competition in the football world-the European Champions League. The Yellow Submarine entered the Champions League group stage after double-defeating Premier League team Everton in the qualifying round. Then, in the group stage, the team beat Manchester United, the premier league giants, as the first in the group to enter the Champions League knockout stage. The miracle continues, and the team is making history with every step forward. This team, which was struggling in the fourth league of Spain 0/6 years ago, eliminated two famous teams, Glasgow Rangers and Inter Milan, and reached the semi-finals of the Champions League in a shocking way.
However, after two rounds of matches with Arsenal Football Club, the motor of the yellow submarine stopped working and the team stopped at the semi-final of the Champions League. Even so, it is no exaggeration to describe this glorious journey with any kind words.
The dream was put on hold for a while, but it didn't end.
