Villarreal could receive a fine from UEFA for arriving late to the field of play after half time, which led to a slight delay in the start of the second half.

The Europa League final could not be resolved after 90 minutes, causing the match to go to extra time, prolonging an already thrilling match between Villarreal and Manchester United.

The 'Yellow Submarine' could receive a notification from UEFA in the next few days regarding an economic fine, given that the Spanish side arrived late for the start of the second half. 

Unai Emery's teamtalk dragged on too long and the players returned to the field of play a few minutes late, meaning the second half didn't start at the arranged time by the referee.

It's not the first time Villarreal have been fined in the Europa League for coming out late, as this occurred against Dinamo Zagreb earlier in the competition, for which the club had to fork out 10,000 euros.
