Chukwueze deserves all the praise as he was one of the KEY players in Villareal’s Europe League Quest for Glory. its a pity he missed the Final due to Injury because he is the one player who deserved to be there, due to the Europa League Campaign he had. especially his displays against Arsenal in semi finals
Im happy that Villarreal could hold their own against a football giant like man utd. Even without their main outlet and chief supplier of assists (chukwueze) they won. They should be in the champions league next season by virtue of this win. Will/should chukwueze leave the club and go to a bigger club? Time will tell
