Villarreal CF has surpassed the sixty-point mark in the LaLiga standings, a milestone the Yellow Submarine has achieved for the thirteenth time in its twenty-six seasons in the First Division.

This achievement comes after the victory obtained in Bilbao against Athletic Club. Historically, every time Villarreal has reached sixty points, they have participated in European competition the following season, highlighting the significance of this accomplishment.
Under the management of Marcelino García Toral, the team has surpassed this point barrier in four seasons. These include the 70 points from last season, 64 in 15-16, and 60 in 14-15. In the 13-14 season, they fell short by one point, with 59.
Other memorable seasons where Villarreal exceeded sixty points include 07-08 with 77 points, 04-05 with 75, 08-09 also with 75, and 16-17 with 67 points.
