Just a few days ago, Villarreal were on the verge of reaching the Champions League final, thus leading 2-0 in the return leg against Liverpool. Unfortunately for the Yellow Submarine, the visitors quickly turned the tables, leaving the charming Spanish side for the second time on the brink of the UCL showdown. It was a nice dream while it lasted, but Villarreal are awake! Reds come back and make the UCL finalAnd now, as things stand, Unai Emery’s slot is on the verge of not playing in Europe next season at all. This La Liga campaign has not been so good for them, but Sunday’s clash against Sevilla could have made all the difference.Unai Emery in Europe:2013-14 Europa winner with Sevilla2014-15 Europa winner with Sevilla2015-16 Europa winner with Sevilla2018-19 Europa runner-up with Arsenal2020-21 Europa winner with Villarreal2021-22 UCL semi-finalist with VillarrealSome record. pic.twitter.com/qAPpqW8sMs— HLTCO (@HLTCO) May 3, 2022 Despite being behind them on the table, in front of a packed El Madrigal on a sunny afternoon, the hosts were looking for a vital victory. And they were not too far away from it, despite the vast part of the match passed in a stalemate.However, Lo Celso fired perfectly a few minutes before the stoppage time to put his side in front and cause Emery’s exaltation by the sidelines. 🗣️𝐆⚽𝐋 𝐃𝐄 𝐕𝐈𝐋𝐋𝐀𝐑𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐋‼️👤 Lo Celso ⏱️86’Villarreal 1️⃣🆚0️⃣ Sevilla#LaLiga 🇪🇸 🏆pic.twitter.com/QWInc5Uvw4— El Forastero (@ElForadeportivo) May 8, 2022 At that moment, Villarreal were holding on to the Europa Conference League qualification spot, but it was not meant to be for them.Very late in the injury time, Jules Kounde was the most concentrated in the opposite box and tied the game at one to put Villarreal in a highly desperate situation when it comes to playing Europe again.Kounde saved Sevilla the last seconds of the game.
