Yellow Submarine won the game against Manchester United. It was a very difficult game but worth watching every minute.
No winner in 90 minutes
Emery was very proud and confident during the pre-match conference. He said that Manchester United is a very big team with a big history. At the same time, no one is afraid of MU and Villarreal will do everything to win the title. It seems that Emery was right from that moment. Villarreal players were very confident and they played a really good game. In the first half, Villarreal dominated the midfield and they were everywhere. You could see that Yellow Submarine players have even run 5 KM more than Manchester United players. Villarreal opened the score-line in the first half. Thanks to Moreno, Villarreal took the lead and they were looking very sharp on the attacks. Parejo also played a big role because Moreno scored a goal after Dani’s cross. Manchester United could equalize the game in the second half. Cavani scored a goal in the start of the second half and people thought that they would go for the second goal. Unfortunately to Manchester fans, Ole’s team could not make a big impact. Yes, Rashford and Bruno had two more real chances but they failed to score.
Penalty shoot-out
It was a very interesting moment for everyone. Villarreal was the first to take a chance to score from the penalty. No one could believe their eyes because no one of the 10 field players missed from the penalty spot. Then it became a time for the goalkeepers. Rulli was the first man who stepped from the penalty. He took the ball and converted it into the goal. After the goal of Rulli, it was a turn for David De Gea. Keeper of Manchester United took the ball and could not convert it into the goal. Rulli took the ball and happily ran after his teammates. Villarreal became the winner of Europa League 2020/21.
