When comparing the international successes of both clubs alone, a clear pattern can be seen. While Manchester can look back on two Champions League titles and a European Cup, as well as other trophies, Villarreal only won the UI Cup, which was abolished again, twice. At the national level, the Eastern Spaniards have never won a title, the Red Devils hold the record on the island with 20 championships.

But the 50,000-inhabitant city in the north of Valencia wants to create a miracle against all unequal conditions, in the semifinals the team of Unai Emery switched off his ex-club Arsenal.

On the way to the final, some high-profile players were also thrown out of the tournament, after successful knockout rounds against Real Sociedad, AC Milan and Granada, followed by high-scoring and one-sided semi-finals against AS Roma (6-2, 2-3).

After moving into the final, it should now work again with a title, since winning the Europa League and the League Cup in 2017, there has been no further sense of achievement.

The British have not experienced such a dry spell since the 1980s.

Will the stars of Manchester United * usher in a new era with the title on Wednesday or will Villarreal grab the first big title in the club's history?
