Santi Cazorla can't split Europa League semifinal opponents Arsenal and Villarreal.

The two teams meet in the first-leg this week.

Cazorla is a veteran of both clubs and said, "This match is emotional and special because Villarreal and Arsenal are the two clubs of my life.

“Now, it is impossible for me to choose a winner but I am happy that one of them will get to the final and if they were to beat Manchester United there it would be sensational.

“The round is 50/50.

“Neither club is enjoying a 'regular' season but this semi-final is key to both team's campaigns for several reasons, and being in the final and back in the Champions League is a huge motivation for any player.

Villarreal have suffered two KOs by Arsenal in Europe and now we want revenge.

“That's normal and maybe that will give them a boost.

“Playing the second leg in London is not as decisive as it would have been before the coronavirus situation and I expect two matches with lots of emotion and fight, and for the team with the best defensive line to win."
