Rulli is not wrong, De Gea yes: Villarreal win their first Europa League, Man United knocked out after penalties | Europa League

Villarreal made history and won the Europa League final on their first attempt. Manchester United is bent after an interminable series of penalty kicks: after 20 consecutive transformations, the goalkeepers take the field and, while Rulli the square at the intersection of the posts, De Gea is rejected by the Argentine number one giving an incredible success to the team coached by Unai Emery, who won the competition for the fourth time in their career.

The final of the Arena Gdansk ended 1-1 at the end of the 90 minutes of regulation, due to the 30th goal of the season by Gerard Moreno and the response at the beginning of the second half by Cavani, who scores the sixth goal in the last 4 games of the Europa League. The Red Devils continue to push once they have found the equalizer, but there is no passing by Albiol and Pau Torres, while during extra time it is Villarreal who physically come out and show the best things.

The parity remains even at the end of the extra 30 ‘and so the sequence from the spot decides the game: everything is perfect, up to the error of De Gea, who condemns Manchester United to another season without titles and allows Villarreal to become the fifth different Spanish side to win the cup and gain access to the next Champions League.
