Villarreal CF faces the start of the Champions League in crisis. The yellow team has only two points out of 12 possible after four matchdays in the Spanish league, with two draws and two defeats. This poor start contrasts with the expectations created before the start of the season.
The club places hope in the Champions League serving as a starting point to reverse this situation and recover their form in the domestic competition. The league start fell far short of expectations for a team that was pointed out as a favorite to fight for top positions.
Villarreal maintains in its squad the spine of the team that finished in third place last season. The team is described as full of world-class footballers, which makes the poor start even more surprising and increases the pressure on the players and the technical structure led by Iñigo Pérez.
