    My theory is the bigger/better team always win on penalties. So Manchester United will win this, I reckon.

    The coin toss. Who goes first?

    For Manchester United this is very disappointing - the game was there for the taking. None of their big players turned up, Scott McTominay was their best player.

    That was a wretched final, I've got to say.

    In 2008, Sir Alex Ferguson brought Anderson on in the final minute of extra-time in Manchester United's Champions League final with Chelsea.

    The Brazilian scored and United went on to win.

    The pressure on Juan Mata and Alex Telles here is pretty huge.

    They literally have one job.

    Manchester United kind of fell away and flattered to deceive again. They had a 15-25 minute period when they were flying, but Villarreal came back into the game. You don't know what Manchester United are going to turn up. When they are brave they are a different side.

    Manchester United have lost five of their last six penalty shootouts. They won their last though - against Rochdale in the League Cup in September 2019.

    We're into the 124th minute now. United have a defensive throw-in.

    Unai Emery's game plan has worked to a certain degree but they have been lacking in ambition since the beginning of the second half and how they've hung on for penalties is credit to their organisation and structure but for a spectacle it hasn't been great.

    Villarreal make their sixth sub as, um, someone replaces Etienne Capoue.

    Here they come. Juan Mata and Alex Telles for Scott McTominay and Aaron Wan-Bissaka.

    United have been waiting to bring on two penalty takers for ages.

    It has been like an international friendly when you make a plethora of changes and all the tempo and momentum in the game has gone and both sides look like they have settled for penalties.

    You could have just written off the extra time - it has been a non-event.

    Manchester United look dead on their feet at the moment, maybe the decision not to make changes earlier is coming home to roost now.
