Villarreal CF come from a town of just 50,000 inhabitants in Spain, and only made their top division debut in 1998.

Villarreal made regular appearances in continental competition, most famously reaching the semifinals of the Champions League in 2006.

EURO 2008 | SPANISH NATIONAL TEAM

Spain were not always the team to fear that they are now. Despite the strength of La Liga and a long history of world-class players, La Roja  were the perennial underachievers of world football, never getting their hands on either of the major two prizes available to them, the World Cup and the European Championship. That is, until 2008.

Senna was the fulcrum of Spain's midfield in Austria and Switzerland, alongside the likes of Xavi and Andrés Iniesta, helping to instill the winning habit that would see Spain secure their first World Cup two years later and then retain the Euros. He was named in the Team of the Tournament for his displays in 2008.
