This afternoon UEFA Champions League fans are wondering, who is Francis Coquelin, the one who scored the second goal for the Yellow Submarine in the Villarreal vs Liverpool game?
Villarreal are strong at the Madrigal and have not lost in their last 5 semifinals
The French midfielder practically just revived his club, who lost the first leg to Liverpool with a score of 2-0, so Coquelin's second goal marked his team's epic comeback in the match.
Francis Joseph Coquelin is a French soccer player who plays as a midfielder for Villarreal C. F. of Spain's La Liga, and this afternoon he scored a goal that gave his team life in the duel against Liverpool to seek a ticket to the final.
Capoue cut back to Robertson and put a left-footed cross to the head of Coquelin, who made no mistake and beat Alexander-Arnold. Thus, the player born in Laval, France, on May 13, 1991, was instrumental in his team's epic comeback.
Coquelin began his soccer career with AS du Bourny between 2000 and 2005
That year he joined the Stade Lavallois youth academy, where he remained until, in July 2008, he was scouted by an Arsenal scout for the English club, and fulfilled his dream of making his first-team debut on September 23, 2008, in a Carling Cup match against Sheffield United.
However, contrary to expectations, Coquelin was not restored to the first team and kept playing with Arsenal's reserves, so he sought a move away from the Gunners.
As a result, he was loaned out to Ligue 1 side Lorient to continue his training, and so he was brought back to Arsenal for the 2011-12 campaign as a first-team player, but still without cementing his place in the first team.
Therefore, he was loaned to Freiburg during the 2013-2014 season, and then he would go through clubs like Charlton Athletic FC in the Second Division of English soccer, and from there he would make the big leap to Arsenal, where he managed to become an important player for Arsène Wenger.
In this club, he ended up consolidating himself as a player of the world elite, as he won two Community Shields and two FA Cups.
Despite his great performance with the Gunners, Coquelin was transferred to Valencia in January 2018, a club with which he won the Copa del Rey and a UEFA Europa League.
With this record, the player seduced Villarreal, a club with which he has scored 1 goal today, to give life to his team that is disputing the right to play in the final of the UEFA Champions League.
