Manchester United and Villarreal renew their rivalry on matchday 2 of the Champions League 2021/22 season after failing to win their respective game on tournament’s opening day.
In their last head-to-head meeting, the Yellow Submarines crowned Europa League champions after striking lucky in a marathon penalty shootout. That was the fifth overall meeting between the teams, met twice at Champions League group stage before and all previous 4 games ended as goal-less stalemates.
Will this trend end at Old Trafford this Wednesday ?
We wait to see a response from Manchester United players after they were beaten in back-to-back games by West Ham and Aston Villa in the space of 4 days. This also brought enormous pressure on Solskjaer with the team opening their Champions League campaign with a 1-2 win at Young Boys Bern.
Villarreal were expected to do better this season after finishing 11th in the La Liga last season. They are only here because of the Europa League success and not for their performance in the domestic league.

曼联和比利亚雷亚尔将在2021/22赛季欧洲冠军联赛的第2场比赛日再次展开对决，此前两队在开幕战中均未获胜。
在最后一次面对面的比赛中，黄色潜艇队在马拉松式的点球大战中幸运地获胜，夺得了欧罗巴联赛冠军。这是两队的第五次交锋，之前两队在欧冠小组赛中有过两次交锋，之前的4场比赛都以零球僵局告终。
这一趋势会在本周三的老特拉福德结束吗?
在连续四天被西汉姆和阿斯顿维拉击败后，我们正在等待曼联球员的回应。这也给索尔斯克亚带来了巨大的压力，球队以1-2大胜伯尔尼的欧冠开局。
比利亚雷亚尔在上赛季西甲排名第11位后，本赛季的表现被寄予厚望。他们来到这里只是因为欧联杯的成功，而不是因为他们在国内联赛的表现。
