The Europa League 2021 finished with a twist as Villareal, in their first-ever European final, defeated favorites Manchester United in a highly entertaining and tight final. Moreno started by scoring for Villareal in the 29th minute with a toe-poke and they then held on until halftime. But Cavani then equalized in the 55th minute with a close-range shot. The game went back and forth until the 90th minute with nobody finding the back of the net. They then went to extra-time and still the scores were tied after 120 minutes of play. So things then went to penalties. All five of the first shots of each team were scored to bring it to sudden-death penalties. All the players scored until all the players had gone except for the goalkeepers. Rulli, the Villareal goalkeeper, beat de Gea, who then saw Rulli save his penalty. Villareal claimed the trophy and a Champions League spot next year.
