Does the stadium DJ in Villarreal know something we all don’t? Are the Spaniards perhaps playing in the Europa League next season? Because before today’s Champions League clash against FC Copenhagen, the wrong anthem was played. This is what it sounded like.
Double the disappointment for the Yellow Submarine: Shortly after kickoff, Mohamed Elyounoussi (2’) scored the opener for the visitors. As a result, the Spaniards are already facing elimination in the league phase. Before today’s match, Villarreal had lost four games and only managed one draw.

At least the Spaniards created more and more chances towards the end of the first half and rewarded themselves after the break with a goal from Santi (47’). However, it was more of a “scrappy goal.” His teammate Akhomach sent in a cross from the right, Santi slipped, fell onto the ball, and it bounced off his backside into the net.
Elias Achouri (48’) restored the visitors’ lead just a minute later, before Tani Oluwaseyi (56’) equalized again. However, the point would not be enough for Villarreal to advance.
