The Europa League match between Villarreal and Maccabi is now in doubt. With the starting eleven confirmed by both sides, the images coming in from Castellón will not fill the teams with confidence.
Torrential rain began to fall in the minutes just prior to both team's warm up. As can be seen in the video below, rain so powerful it almost seemed like it was part of a storm battered the pitch.
UEFA is studying the possibility of suspending the match if the rain does not stop and the match is unable to be played.
