PSG inflicts the worst home defeat on a Spanish side in Europe

While Paris Saint‑Germain celebrated a crushing victory, Villarreal experienced a night to forget at La Cerámica, where the groguet side suffered a painful 0‑6 with four goals in the first 17 minutes, as reported by Andreu Esteban of EFE and journalist Xavi Solé in European competition.

That score constitutes Villarreal's biggest defeat in European competitions and one of the worst in the history of Spanish teams.

With an average of a dozen goals conceded, it is the worst defeat of a Spanish club at home in the entire history of its European matches and the fifth worst in absolute terms.

Iñigo said: "When you lose like that there is no choice but to point at the coach". Luis Enrique replied: "I told Iñigo to keep his chin up and move on, that we have all had these".

Historical comparison with other Spanish defeats

Only the 2‑8 Barça loss to Bayern in 2020 (played at Estádio da Luz in Lisbon), Liverpool's 6‑0 to Real Sociedad in 1975, Karlsruhe's 7‑0 to Valencia in 1993 and Real Madrid's 8‑0 to Sevilla in 1958 were equal or worse for LaLiga teams in Europe.
