An incredible drama unfolded during Wednesday night's Europa League final.

1-1 at full time was followed by a goalless extra time and then penalties.

In the end, Villarreal was the winner.

But it was not by any large margins.

Eleven penalty rounds were required to decide, with both teams putting their first ten.

In the eleventh round, it was the goalkeepers' turn to shoot.

Then United's David De Gea missed - and Villarreal's goalkeeper Gerónimo Rulli became a great match hero.

- I do not want to hear that we were so close, because it means nothing.

We have to find out why we lost and make sure we do not lose again next time, striker Marcus Rashford told BT Sport.

Ole Gunnar Solskjær's team thus goes untitled from the 2020/21 season after finishing second in the league.

The last time the team won a title is the 2016/17 season when they won the Europa League.

- We have a strong and powerful squad.

The morale of the team is good.

But they are devastated now, says the coach.

- We were close in the league, maybe we got closer to the top than we had thought and we also got to a final.

But you have to win the finals to make it a good season, he continues.
