Arsene Wenger has claimed Unai Emery was treated unfairly during his stint as Arsenal manager. Emery replaced Wenger at the Emirates but was sacked after just 18 months in charge with the Gunners struggling to trouble the top-four.
But Emery has bounced back impressively since. Taking on the Villarreal job he beat Manchester United to win the Europa League title in the 2020-21 campaign and beat Juventus and Bayern Munich en route to the Champions League semi-finals this season.
It was a fairytale run that finally came to an end on Tuesday night but only after a spirited comeback from the Yellow Submarine. Liverpool boasted a 2-0 lead heading into the game in Spain but the advantage was wiped out by half-time as Jurgen Klopp's side struggled with their opponent's energy.
