Villarreal 2005-2006 Home Short Sleeve Football Shirt [As worn by Riquelme, Forlan & Franco]

This is the fully-customizable short-sleeve home kit for Villarreal’s 2005-2006 season. The 2005-06 season at Villarreal was one of the most successful and heart-breaking at the same time. This shirt was worn by some absolute legends, not only of Villarreal but Spanish and European football in general. Diego Forlan, the club’s legendary striker drove the charge, with Marcos Senna and the creative Riquelme manning the midfield. The Yellow Submarine managed to reach the European Cup semi-final after knocking out Rangers and Inter. With the aggregate result 1-0 for their opponents, Villarreal got a penalty in the 90th minute of the match. If they scored, the match would go to extra-time at their home stadium, giving them a big advantage. However, Riquelme stepped up in this shirt to take the shot. On the other end of the penalty was Lehmann, the German goalkeeper. Riquelme took the shot, only for Lehmann to save it. This saw their opponents go through to the final where they lost to Barcelona, and Villarreal never recovered after such a heartbreaking outing from the European Cup.
