Villarreal CF continue to enjoy a truly historic season under the guidance of Marcelino García Toral. Following the victory over Elche in the latest league match, the Yellow Submarine have reached 38 points after 17 games, the best record in the club’s history at this stage of a Primera División season
The team’s numbers highlight the magnitude of Villarreal’s current form. With twelve wins in seventeen matches, the club has set a new benchmark for victories in the opening stretch of a top-flight campaign. This is further underlined by the attacking figures, with 34 goals scored, the highest total Villarreal have ever registered after 17 games in the top division.
To fully appreciate the significance of these achievements, it is worth recalling that during the 2023–24 season Villarreal reached 38 points only by matchday 30, a clear illustration of the remarkable progress made this year.
A season defined by records
These collective achievements come alongside a particularly significant season on a personal level for Marcelino. In recent months, the Asturian coach has become the manager with the most matches in Villarreal CF’s history and the coach with the most victories, has been named LaLiga Coach of the Month, and has guided the team to the best league start ever recorded by the club.
Villarreal have also established themselves as one of the most consistent and competitive sides in the league, displaying a clear identity and regularly competing at the top end of the table.
Work, identity and ambition
Beyond the statistics, Villarreal’s current form reflects a project built on daily work, high standards and a coherent footballing philosophy. The team shows confidence, ambition and a competitive edge that places them among the standout sides of the season.
The 38 points, 12 victories and 34 goals are not just numbers: they represent a Villarreal in constant growth and a chapter that continues to expand Marcelino García Toral’s legacy at the club.
