Villarreal CF already knows what they will be and can be, their rivals in the European competition of the Europa League, after announcing UEFA the teams already classified and those who must pass the rounds to play this competition, and continues to be one of the teams with the best coefficient, which ensures them to be in the first hype of the draw. A situation that has been occurring since the team plays or disputes the Europa League competition, in which it has always been part of that first hype.
Having spent so many seasons in Europe, in which he reached the semi-finals of the UEFA and Champions League, has always made them have a good coefficient. A situation that favors the people of Castellón not being in this first phase of groups with rivals with a better coefficient and a higher level, which means having a more affordable first phase. The team chaired by Fernando Roig, yields a coefficient of these five years of 56,000 points, which makes them the sixth coefficient of the competition, and the best Spanish team in it. Thus, Villarreal would only be behind teams like Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur, Rome, Naples and Bayer Leverkusen, which are the teams that improve the coefficient of yellows.
In that drum one also has teams like Basel, Besiktas, Sporting Lisbon, CSKA Moscow, Sporting Braga or Gent, although some of these teams will have to go through previous rounds before being in the group stage, such as Tottenham, Basel, Besiktas, Sporting Lisbon or Gent. Villarreal CF is the only Spanish team in that hype one, since Real Sociedad with 17,000 coefficient points would be in pot three, and Granada with a coefficient of 19,885 points, must go through three previous rounds first, after which, and to pass them, would be in pot four.
