3. Villarreal   – Relegated in the 2011/12 Season
Yes it is Villarreal, a Spanish club that once finished second in the La Liga is our number three among those clubs that were once relegated but were good by then. They were relegated after they lost the last league game against Atletico Madrid finishing 18th in the league, a position of the relegation zone. Villarreal though had good players like Goalkeeper Diego Lopez, Brazilian forward Nilmar in the attack with Giuseppe Roussi though he missed the entire season due to a knee injury.The yellow submarines had sold out good players like Santi Cazorla and Javier Matilla the previous season.
