Villarreal’s Arsenal went down after a savage challenge, but could continue playing after some medical attention. Nevertheless, he was able to score. “If we were to lose, this was probably the best result we could have achieved. I’m calm. I feel we have a chance to win and succeed,” quotes uefa.com from Arsenal coach Mikel Artet.
The London Club has a special motivation to win the European League. He is most likely not to qualify for Europe through the Premier League, he ranks ninth in the table. He tuned in to a duel with Villarreal in a 2-0 triumph over Newcastle.
“We showed quality and very confident performance. We did not collect and show individual abilities,” said, according to AFP, after Artet’s match, he was also pleased with the fact that Captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang also signed up for the shooting list for the first time since the beginning of March.
Arsenal’s hopes for at least one success this season may be cut short by its former coach Unai Emery. He has the opportunity to bring Villarreal to the finals of one of the European football competitions for the first time in history. The “Yellow Submarine” defeated Getafe 1-0 on Sunday in La Liga and is in 6th place in the competition. “We plan to play at Arsenal in the same way as at home. We plan to control the pace of the game and show our strong personality.” said Emery, who was sitting on the London bench in the 2018-19 season.

Manchester United may advance to the finals of the European League for the second time. During his premiere participation in 2017, he won the competition when he defeated Ajax Amsterdam 2-0 in Stockholm.
Over the weekend, his players rested unplanned, as the beater against Liverpool did not play due to protests and fan riots at the stadium. However, they hold the second place in the Premier table with a safe distance and the triumph in the European League can be their priority.
However, players understandably take revenge at the Olympic Stadium in Rome with all seriousness. “We’ve done a good job, but it’s not over yet. We know the opponent has quality,” recalled Ole Gunnar Solskjaer for BT Sport.
The Romans already seem to be dealing more next season. On Thursday, they announced that coach Paolo Fonseca will finish on the bench after the season and will be replaced by Jose Mourinho. He signed a contract until June 2024. On Sunday, the AS lost on the soil of Sampdoria Genoa 0: 2 and in Serie A he belongs to the seventh place with a gap of nine points on Lazio Rome and with a lead of two over Sassuel.
The final of the European League 2020/2021 is scheduled for May 26. It will be played in Gdansk.
