The penalty kick lottery rewards Villarreal who win the 2020-21 Europa League.
To betray Manchester United is the goalkeeper De Gea who misses from the spot closing the count from eleven meters on 11-10 for the Spaniards after the 120 'of the final in Gdansk ended at 1-1.
Yellow submarine ahead in the first half thanks to a goal by Gerrard Moreno, equal to Cavani in the second half in front of almost 10 thousand fans.
For the Spanish coach Unai Emery yet another triumph in a competition in which he has become a true specialist.
At the Gdansk Stadium in Gdansk the public returns (to 25% of the capacity for 9,500 spectators) for the Europa League final between Villarreal and Manchester United: the Red Devils coach Solskjaer chooses the 4-2-3-1 form with Cavani center forward assisted on the trocar from Rashford, Bruno Fernandes and Greenwood. In midfield, there are Pogba and McTominay while in defense, the coach of the Mancunians, given the absence of the bruised Maguire, deploys Bailly and Lindelof as central with Wan-Bissaka and Shaw to preside over the side lanes. Emery relies on the offensive couple formed by Bacca and Gerard Moreno. In the middle of the field, the coach of the Spaniards opts for Capoue and Dani Parejo with Yeremi Pino and Trigueros on the outside while in defense, in front of the extreme defender Rulli, are deployed Foyth, Albiol, Pau Torres,Pedraza. Out due to injury Iborra and Chukwueze. Ready away with Manchester United that keeps possession of the ball waiting for spaces to be able to hurt the Spanish defense.
Villarreal, which for a bad blow to the head could immediately lose Foyth who ended up on the ground in pain after a contrast with Pogba, carefully defended themselves in their own half to restart on the counterattack. Tactics that in the first half of the Energa Gdansk in Gdansk proved effective: despite the greater possession of the opponent's ball, the Spanish team managed to unlock the game at the first available opportunity thanks to the center-forward Gerrard Moreno: on a free-kick from the left for Villarreal, the Dani Parejo beats who in the heart of the penalty area catches the insertion of Gerard Moreno who surprises Lindelöf from behind and finds the winning deviation with the right. On the other hand, the men of Solskjaer have never managed to be dangerous on the part of Rulli. The second half starts with United at theboarding that first risks suffering the 2-0 always on the attempt of Gerrard Moreno and then finds the equal with Cavani: corner of Shaw, Albiol free to head and Rashford, lurking at the limit, kicks on the fly. After the double detour of Pedraza and McTominay, the former Napoli and Psg pounced on the loose ball and beat Rulli for 1-1. Reached the draw United slows down and Villarreal controls the match without giving the impression of being able to give the blow of the knockout. The first 90 'ends in a draw and we go to extra time where both teams appeared very tired are unable to overcome. We go to penalties where the first 'heat' closed at 5-5 and it is necessary to go to the bitter end: nobody makes a mistake and the goalkeepers are forced to go on the spot. The first was scored by the Villarreal Rulli goalkeeper,while De Gea kicks badly and gets his shot saved. Thus ends 11-10 for the Yellow Submarine who can now immerse himself in a party made even more joyful by the presence of his fans in Gdansk.
