Manchester United: 1 European Trophy

Villarreal: 1 European Trophy
In the 2020/2021 season, Villareal won their first major European honour in the last decade when they successfully defeated Manchester United in the UEFA Europa League final on penalties. The penalty shootout was quite nerve-racking as the eventual result was 12-11 for Villarreal.
Liverpool: 2 European Trophies
