Vila-real went crazy with the celebration of the European title won hours before by his team in the final of the Europa League. Despite the restrictions on sanitary matters, and trying to ensure that these were complied with, the town took to the streets to cheer the heroes of Gdansk. A group of footballers and a coaching staff, led by Unai Emery, whose names will remain forever etched in the annals of the La Plana club's history.

After the spontaneous celebrations after the match against Manchester United ended, this Thursday's day served for the yellow fans to pay homage to their idols. Thousands of fans overflowed the streets of the town with euphoria. The club organized a "rua" aboard an open-top bus so that a large part of the population could cheer on the team. As the club had announced, the yellow delegation did not stop at any point along the route in order to avoid crowds, so the route proceeded smoothly and without incident.

Times for the closing of some shops were advanced, many academies modified their classes so that no one would miss a historic festival in a few days that will hardly be forgotten in Villarreal.

With commemorative T-shirts and with the slogan printed champions, once again in the open-top bus Alberto Moreno and Jaume Costa became the kings of the party. The Andalusian already demonstrated after the final and on social networks to be the joy of the locker room and was one of the most festive throughout the day. There was no shortage of beer and cava. The one who also uncovered himself as a showman was Etienne Capoue. The Frenchman has been the great revelation since his arrival in the winter market, and he did not hesitate to take off his shirt in the purest "hooligan" style: "I tell all my town of Vila-real, because it is already my town, that the Next year we will play the Champions League and that Pau will play with us because the president will give him many millions "

Precisely the youth player has become, despite his young age, the great banner of the fans along with Gerard Moreno that Bruno or Cazorla once carried. Once again the emotion surpassed the "xiquet de Vila-real": "It is the first time that I see all the people of my town from a bus. I have just seen my grandparents on a balcony and I have shown them the glass to tell them that goes for them".

The Europa League Cup went from hand to hand and I wished for madness every time the footballers showed them to the public. One of the most acclaimed was Raúl, who Albiol wore his new "look" with a shaved head that he "suffered" in the same locker room after the game: "This only has one name: Gerard Moreno. It was tradition. You make a deal with him and he doesn't comply: it was the ponytail and he shaves you to zero" commented the central veteran, one of the best in the final, with a laugh. "This title is special for me because it is the first for the club. And even more with my age, although I hope to play for a few more years", commented

For this reason, he did not want to miss the celebration from the team bus, and his name was the most acclaimed by the fans. The president's eyes shone when he saw the streets full of yellow colors. Totally hoarse, he showed his happiness: "We are very happy and happy. Seeing that pride of being from Villarreal is the most important thing. We are the only Spanish team that this year will celebrate a European title and the love of the people has reached me," he said

Shops run out of merchandising

Throughout the day the queues of fans were a constant at the official club stores in La Plana. No fan wanted to be left without the club's official flag or scarf to participate in the club's attire for the celebration. Precisely and during the day those two garments were the most demanded to the point that stocks ran out. The streets and balconies of the town dressed more yellow than ever
