#7 Villarreal – Yellow Submarine
Trending
The club owes its nickname to the city of Liverpool. The Beatles, back in the 1960s, came up with their song Yellow Submarine which quickly became popular in Europe. The song received a lot of love in Spain as well after a translated version of the song came to the country.
In a match where Villarreal were fighting for promotion and were playing in the 3rd division, the fans started playing the Beatles record in the background, singing "Amarillo es el Villarreal/amarillo es/amarillo es" (Villarreal are yellow, they are yellow). The chant continued and Villarreal ended up with this unique name.
