Villarreal: Yellow Submarine looking to rise from depths

In Villarreal's Bar El Madrigal, across the street from the club's stadium of the same name, there is a sea of scarves pinned on the wall behind the counter.

Each commemorates a great Champions League night of the past, against visitors such as Manchester United, Manchester City, Arsenal and Napoli.

This weekend, a match arguably as important as any of those will take place in the stadium as Villarreal welcome Almeria, with automatic promotion to La Liga at stake. A win or a draw would confirm the hosts' return to the big time, but an away victory would send Almeria up at their expense - and condemn Villarreal to the play-offs.

If England's football-supporting public had forgotten about Villarreal - which hardly seems likely given the drama of their 2006 Champions League semi-final against Arsenal - then they are set to be reminded.
