Kounde's last gasp equalizer kills Emery's Yellow Submarine hopes of Europe next season

Just a few days ago, Villarreal were on the verge of reaching the Champions League final, thus leading 2-0 in the return leg against Liverpool. Unfortunately for the Yellow Submarine, the visitors quickly turned the tables, leaving the charming Spanish side for the second time on the brink of the UCL showdown.

It was a nice dream while it lasted, but Villarreal are awake! Reds come back and make the UCL final

And now, as things stand, Unai Emery's slot is on the verge of not playing in Europe next season at all. This La Liga campaign has not been so good for them, but Sunday's clash against Sevilla could have made all the difference.

Despite being behind them on the table, in front of a packed El Madrigal on a sunny afternoon, the hosts were looking for a vital victory. And they were not too far away from it, despite the vast part of the match passed in a stalemate.

However, Lo Celso fired perfectly a few minutes before the stoppage time to put his side in front and cause Emery's exaltation by the sidelines.

At that moment, Villarreal were holding on to the Europa Conference League qualification spot, but it was not meant to be for them.

Very late in the injury time, Jules Kounde was the most concentrated in the opposite box and tied the game at one to put Villarreal in a highly desperate situation when it comes to playing Europe again.

Such a pity.
