In the 35th minute of the first half, Nikola Pepe was brought down in the penalty area.

The referee's whistle blew and Arsenal were awarded a penalty.

The Arsenal players are excited!

Here comes their chance to score!

But just when the Arsenal players were celebrating excitedly, the referee changed the decision - the penalty was cancelled!

Due to the serious resistance of the Villarreal players, the referee decided to watch the VAR anyway.

It is clear from the video replay that although Pepe was tackled in the penalty area, his handball reappeared, and the penalty was still not established.

The Arsenal players were unwilling, but they were also helpless.

It's true that I just handballed, so there's nothing wrong with not giving a penalty.

What a shame......

Countless Yellow Submariners in the stands shouted "Long live VAR!" Enjoy the joy of the rest of your life.

With a two-goal advantage, the Yellow Submarine ended the first half.

In the second half, Arsenal obviously attacked much faster, and their midfield pressing hardness also increased.

But bad luck happened again.

In the 57th minute of the game, in a combination of yellow submarines, Arsenal midfielder Ceballos fell to the ground and made a tackle, recklessly fouled, and brought down the opponent.

Watching the opposing player roll on the ground, he knew he was in trouble.

Sure enough, the referee ran up to him and showed him his second yellow card of the game.

Two yellows turn into one red, it's over!

Frustrated, Ceballos knew his future at Arsenal was gone.

He joined Arsenal on loan from Real Madrid in the summer of 2019 and has not been able to secure a regular position at Arsenal for two seasons.

And this reckless foul made him lose the opportunity to stay.

What the future holds, he himself does not know......

Ceballos doesn't know what his future holds, but Arteta knows it.

Arsenal are in trouble.

It was already two goals behind, and there was one person missing, so it was completely troublesome.

Still want to score goals?

It's too hard.

Regarding Ceballos' yellow card, teammate Thomas Partey strongly protested and ended up receiving a yellow card as well.

Arteta, on the pitchside, shouted at his players to keep everyone calm.

If one more person is punished, then he will simply admit defeat and surrender.

Five minutes later, Arteta finally made a change.

He confessed his mistake.

The 20-year-old came off the bench to replace Odegaard in a cameo striker.

Odegaard was extremely poor up front and didn't do what a striker should do.

Less than 10 minutes after Martinelli came on, he helped the team create a great chance.

Catch the ball with your back in the penalty area and turn around!

Pau Torres puts his foot in the tackle!

Martinelli falls to the ground!

The referee's whistle blows!

Penalty kick!

This time, even if the yellow submarine players protested, the referee was no longer entangled!

It's a penalty, you can see it clearly!

Arsenal finally got their wish.

As the team's second-time penalty taker, Pepe was in charge of Carazette's absence.

A push shot, the ball goes into the net!

2 to 1!

Arsenal pull a goal back!

Even with one man missing, the tenacious Arsenal still scored an important goal!

Shortly after the goal, the Yellow Submarine also received a second yellow card of the game for a defense, and Capoue was also sent off.

Arsenal see an opportunity!

At the last moment, go all out!

The momentum of the Yellow Submarine weakened, and they retreated on all fronts and resisted stubbornly!

Even though Arteta continued to replace Aubameyang, Willian and other attacking players, and even Aubameyang came out with an injury, he still failed to equalize.

In the end, Arsenal lost this game away, losing 1-2.

However, it was not a very bad result, after all, it was only a goal behind and it also got an away goal.

Not bad either.

Back in the second leg at home, Arsenal went on the attack.

However, the Yellow Submarine did not give up the attack, they sent a number of fast horses, and today they mainly played defensive counterattacks.

There were a number of good chances created by both sides, but none of them were converted into shots.

The top scorer of the game after the game was Arsenal defender Pablo Mari, which speaks for itself.

In the end, Arsenal failed to score at home, and a 0-0 scoreline made them leave the Europa League in bitterness.

Villarreal, on the other hand, managed to qualify for the Europa League final.

Their opponents are Manchester United, also from the Premier League.

In fact, it is interesting to think about it, Manchester United and Villarreal both stepped on the corpses of the opposing league teams in the knockout stage to advance.

Manchester United swept Granada and Villarreal won against Arsenal.

The two sides will meet in the final, which is a Premier League vs La Liga match.

Before this game, countless media outlets and fans took the lead on the Internet.

The most ferocious thing is the English media and fans.

The Times: "Manchester United made it all the way to the final. But Villarreal stumbled to the end. In this analysis, Manchester United has a higher winning rate. ”

The Guardian: "Manchester United are a star-studded squad that is not a Europa League team in the first place, and it was only because of bad luck in the Champions League that they unfortunately slipped. The final is still the stage for them to shine. ”

And England fans are also frantically calling for their teams online.

Among the many words of confidence, there is one sentence with the highest approval rate.

"Second in the Premier League VS seventh in La Liga, do you still need to think about the outcome or defeat?"

There is really nothing wrong with saying this.

The Premier League now surpasses La Liga, and many fans think so.

Take a look at this season's Champions League and Europa League.

The Champions League final is Manchester City vs Chelsea, and the Europa League final is Manchester United vs Villarreal.

The Premier League accounts for three-quarters.

What else is there to say?

This confidence and momentum of winning has excited countless media and fans.

Manchester United fans have prepared a salute for the championship celebrations.

Even Manchester United has thought ahead about how to set it up at Old Trafford.

This sentiment has been contagious to the Manchester United players.

The Manchester United players who are preparing for the game in Poland have been in high spirits during training for the past few days, as if they have already taken control of this final.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer also kept encouraging his players and cheering them on.

But Xia Xing was a little worried.

He didn't go directly to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, but to Carrick to talk about the current situation.

"Xia, what's the matter with you?"

'I don't think it's good about the current state of the team.

"What are you talking about?"

"Mentally."

"Oh, don't you think you're a little too confident?"

"I'm not worried about everyone's confidence, I'm worried that because the confidence is too strong, and I underestimate the opponent, then it will be troublesome."

"Xia, I understand what you're saying. Let me ask you sincerely, how sure do you think we will win this final? ”

"Five-five."

"Are you a bit conservative?"

"We played against Arsenal this season, but we didn't take advantage of it, did we?"

"Yes."

'But Villarreal did it, they knocked out Arsenal. For that reason, we must not underestimate them! (End of chapter)
