Unai Emery insists he used what he learned at Arsenal in helloing Villarreal lift the Europa League title.
The Spanish side won their first ever trophy with a penalty shootout win over Manchester United on Wednesday.
Emery said: "I insist it is not a sports revenge at all. I try to enjoy every moment, winning and losing. I try to create new circumstances, so everywhere I have been, even in England at Arsenal, I have learned a lot, met many people, other cultures and football.
"At the end of that story was professional frustration, but some other doors opened then. Winning today is a satisfaction, but for my club today, as it was when I was at Sevilla.
"When I was at Arsenal we played a Europa League final and could not win but it is a process, from that game I learned a lot to win this one maybe."
