Unai Emery is the record 4-time winner of the Europa League and the competition’s most successful manager. His track record:

👉Sevilla 2013-2016: 3 consecutive titles.
- 2013/14 vs Benfica on penalties
- 2014/15 vs Dnipro 3-2
- 2015/16 vs Liverpool 3-1
No manager had ever won it 3 years in a row before.

2. Villarreal 2020/21: Beat Manchester United on penalties in Gdańsk for his 4th title. Emery said this one was special because he "broke a barrier" for a club that had never won it.

👉Arsenal 2018/19: Reached the final but lost 4-1 to Chelsea. That’s his only Europa League final loss

👉5th Europa League title - He’d extend his own record and become the first to win it with 3 different clubs. He’d also equal Giovanni Trapattoni, Carlo Ancelotti and José Mourinho for 5 major European final wins.

Aston Villa’s first major trophy since 1996 and first European trophy since the 1982 European Cup. That’s a 44-year wait for European silverware.
Villa are favourites - Opta gives them 56.5% win probability vs 19.4% for Freiburg.
