Ouch. Now that's a hammering. Top Spanish club Villareal took on 'Navata' a tiny regional Spanish club, in a pre season friendly, and stuck 27 goals past them. That's actually physically hard to do! The 'Yellow Submarine', Villareal's nickname, had to have scored roughly every three minutes for this to happen.
Still, 27-0, that wasn't very nice, was it?
The scoreline has caused outrage on some Internet forums with fans arguing that humiliating a group of part-timers was not really beneficial to anyone. The suggestion is that perhaps Villarreal would have been better displaying their ability to keep the ball and play possession football once the score reached about 9-0. Clearly, the Yellow Submarine cares not for your suggestions!
Forward Jonathan Pereira netted seven goals, Joseba Llorente and Marco Ruben scored four each while former Arsenal midfielder Robert Pires scored twice.
For you US readers, here's a little helpful chart to assist you in making sense of this 27-0 scoreline
27-0 equates to roughly the following imaginary scorelines in the respective sports
Imagine how shocked you would be if you saw the following scores..
