Europa League Final 2021

-

 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.

 How did Erling Haaland rise from being a hat-trick scoring kid for RB Salzburg to being one of the players all teams want? He started being recognised in 2019 when he scored against Liverpool in the group stage of the champions league, others from the team also got recognised including Minamino who went to Liverpool. So why did Erling Haaland transfer to Dortmund and not somewhere in England where his dad played professionally. He probably wasn't thinking everybody wanted him at the time and took the first big offer he could. In his first game playing for his new club he scored a hat-trick and made a friendship with teammate Thorgan Hazard.  In 2020 Haaland was awarded The Golden Boy award for best under-21 player. Since then Erling Haaland has made a big impact in the bundesliga and champions league reaching top scorer at the moment and catching the eye of big teams like Machester City and Chelsea. So where will he go next or will he choose to stay? If you have an opinion put it
