Arsenal boss Unai Emery has hit out at the location of the Europa League final

Arsenal boss Emery said: “I didn’t exactly understand what is the reason between playing in one place and another. I’d prefer to play closer to England because we are two English teams and can move a lot of supporters to be with us.“I don’t know really how they decided to play there. After it’s going to be only 6,000 supporters from us and Chelsea but the stadium has a capacity for 68,000. I think it’ll be full but not with our supporters.”Chelsea boss Sarri echoed Emerys comments, saying: The location is a big problem, for the fans. I would like it to be in another location.GETTY3
