Europa League 2021: Preview and Predictions for the Final

Manchester United and Villarreal will square off on Wednesday in the UEFA Europa League final in Gdansk, Poland.

The Red Devils will go for their second Europa League crown in five seasons, while the Yellow Submarine will try to win their first trophy in the competition.

The two sides outlasted some of the best clubs in Europe to advance to the final through the 32-team knockout round.

Manchester United downed Real Sociedad, AC Milan, Granada and Roma to reach this point. Villarreal ousted Red Bull Salzburg, Dynamo Kyiv, Dinamo Zagreb and Arsenal.

Villarreal turned in a slightly better set of results across the knockout round, as it did not lose any of its eight matches.
