Villarreal CF has once again demonstrated its high level in the First Division, reaching 60 points in LaLiga after their victory against Athletic Club at San Mamés, a milestone that solidifies their excellent season in Champions League positions.

The victory of Villarreal CF against Athletic Club has allowed the yellow team to reach 60 points in LaLiga, a figure with great historical value for the entity. This is the thirteenth time that the Yellow Submarine has surpassed this barrier in the 26 seasons it has played in the top category of Spanish football, which reflects the competitive dimension the club has achieved in its recent history.
Beyond the statistical symbolism, this record confirms Villarreal's excellent league season, making them one of the most reliable and consistent teams in the championship. The squad led by Marcelino García Toral currently occupies third position in LaLiga EA Sports, with a solid advantage of four points over Atlético de Madrid and fifteen over Real Betis, reinforcing their candidacy to finish the season in Champions League spots.
This Villarreal CF has built its season on competitiveness and consistency. The team has shown a recognizable identity and a remarkable ability to accumulate points both at home and away from the Estadio de la Cerámica. Reaching 60 points at this stage of the championship is not a coincidence, but the result of sustained work that has placed the team from Plana Baixa among the best in Spanish football.
Marcelino's figure is also strengthened, as with the Asturian coach at the helm, Villarreal has surpassed this barrier in four seasons. He did so with 60 points in the 2014-15 campaign, with 64 in 2015-16, and with 70 points last season, in addition to coming very close in 2013-14 with 59 points. His impact on the competitive growth of the Submarine is unquestionable.
In the club's history, there are particularly brilliant campaigns in terms of points, such as the 77 points in the 2007-08 season, the 75 in 2004-05 and 2008-09, or the 67 in 2016-17. These seasons are part of the golden memory of Villarreal fans and now find continuity in a 2025/26 season that can already be considered among the most outstanding in recent years.
Furthermore, there is an optimistic precedent for European competition: whenever Villarreal has reached 60 points in the First Division, they have played in European competition the following season. This statistic underscores the significance of this new milestone, consolidating Villarreal CF as one of the most solid and ambitious projects in Spanish football.
