Villarreal have started the season solid. Quite productive and strong in defense. 
Villarreal will definitely play this season like the last one, aiming for a Champions League spot, and I can't wait to see how they perform against Real Madrid, Barcelona, Atlético, and even Bilbao, who also had a great start. Villarreal had a good transfer window in terms of both buying and selling, so let's see how everything lines up in the next seven fixtures before the next international break. Their first Champions League game will be away against Tottenham — that's a must-watch match 
In terms of team quality, I don't think Villarreal is on par with Barcelona and Real Madrid, making it difficult for them to put pressure on those two teams for the title. Perhaps Villarreal can only be a shadow of themselves, and they can once again target a top-four finish.
