Villarreal's poor league form reflects their distain for the Europa League success.

Villarreal have been one of the most successful clubs in La Liga this season, having won the title and reached the final of the Copa del Rey. However, they have struggled in Europe, failing to progress beyond the group stages of the Europa League.

This has led some to question whether Villarreal's success in Europe is taking away from their ability to perform well domestically. While it is true that Villarreal have been impressive in Europe, their league form suggests that they may not be able to maintain their current level of performance over the long term.

One reason for this is that Villarreal's focus on winning silverware at the expense of domestic success may be taking a toll on their performance in La Liga. The club may be spending too much time and resources on competing in European competitions, leaving them with fewer resources to invest in their domestic squad.

Another reason for this is that Villarreal's success in Europe may be leading to complacency among the players and coaching staff. With so many trophies already under their belts, the team may be overlooking the importance of performing well in La Liga.

Ultimately, it will be important for Villarreal to find a balance between competing in Europe and maintaining their success in La Liga. By doing so, they can continue to build on their successes in both competitions and ensure that their fans are satisfied with their performances on the pitch.
