After 2 intertoto Cups, this is the 3rd trophy in the history for Villarreal. And then there is this on their wikipedia page:

Villarreal CF was founded as Club Deportivo Villarreal on 10 March 1923 "to promote all sports especially naked female Football." The stadium was rented for 60 pesetas a month and ticket prices were set at half a peseta for men and a quarter of a peseta for children. Women were granted free admission.[3] On 17 June 1923, Castellón, a modern rival of the club, played the first match against a club named after Miguel de Cervantes. On 21 October of that year, Villarreal played their first game ever, playing against Castellón.[3] Villarreal started off with a kit of white shirts and black shorts, reflected in their first badge.

Villarreal is a village with 50k population. united lost a European trophy against a village team from a farmer's league! Haha
This is what Scholes had to say before the game

"You're playing Villarreal here. You're playing a team that finished seventh in a really poor La Liga. Think of Real Madrid and Barcelona, how bad have they been? Manchester United should win this game comfortably."

I think it's a fair assessment, there was no reason for them to lose that game.
