The already played Europa League final between Villarreal and Manchester United is my favourite League although my club failed, but i am not a partial fan so i congratulate Villarreal for their effort. The match was played at Stadion Miejski in Gdansk, Poland. I and my friend went to viewing center.
the match started by 8pm Nigerian time with Foyth, Albiol, Toreres, Pedraza etc playing for Villarreal with 4-4-2 formation i'm not familiar with their names while in my club Cavani, Rashford, Fernandes, Greenwood, Pogba, Mc Tominay, Shaw, Lindelof, Bailly, Wan-Bissaka and De Gea started for Manchester United with a 4-2-3-1 formation
