Villarreal discovers Europa League semi-final opponent on airplane

Villarreal was literally flying high after finding out its opponent for the Europa League's semi-finals.

Aboard an airplane at the time of Friday's Europa League draw, Villarreal was informed by the flight's captain that the Yellow Submarine will take on Liverpool in the competition's semi-finals, resulting in cheers and applause from those on the aircraft.

The pairing comes 10 years after Villarreal's semi-final against Arsenal in the 2005-06 Champions League, a tie that the Gunners won 1-0 on aggregate after Juan Roman Riquelme missed a 90th-minute penalty in the second leg.
