A historical day for the team sponsored by Pamesa Cerámica. Villarreal CF’s spectacular victory against Atlético de Madrid has given the club the unique leadership position for the first time in the highest possible category in Spanish football. Before the day’s matches, the ‘yellows’ shared the leadership with Real Madrid and Celta de Vigo, but neither rival was capable of securing a win against Málaga or Eibar, respectively, and so could not keep abreast with Villarreal CF.
The yellow team take the leading position for the first time in their history by winning 16 out of a total 18 possible points at the start of the league, with five consecutive wins and only one draw.
