Nobody like Unai Emery and his special relationship with the Europa League to return Aston Villa to the aristocracy of European football. The Spanish coach successfully closed a long parenthesis in the history of the emblematic English team. The duel began after winning the European Cup in 1982 against Bayern Munich. He closed the wound with this victory in the Europa League. They had not won a title since the 1996 English League Cup. After touching the sky in that distant 1982, Emery returned glory to the villains with their fifth Europa League trophy. The Basque thing is incredible. He won three titles with Sevilla and another with Villarreal. Along the way, he reached the final with Arsenal in 2019, losing to Chelsea. And all, having qualified Aston Villa for the next edition of the Champions League via Premier.
