Marca’s “Mkhiraryan puts Armenia on the map” article notes in particular that Henrikh Mkhitaryan had a big role in Manchester United’s win in the Europa League.

The periodical reviews the Armenian player’s first season at the club, touching on his goals in the Europa League.

Marca also points out that Henrikh Mkhitaryan will play in the Champions League this season after “shining” in the Europa League. The article remarks that Mkhitaryan will be an important player for Jose Mourinho in the new season.

Manchester United beat Ajax 2-0 in the Europa League final, Henrikh Mkhitaryan scoring the winner. He became the first Armenian footballer to play and score in a European cup final.

The fan vote on UEFA website declared Mkhitaryan the best player of the final.

In total, the Armenian midfielder played 11 games and scored 6 goals in the 2016/17 Europa League.

The jury consists of coaches of clubs in the 2016/17 group stages of the UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League, together with 55 journalists from the European Sports Media (ESM) group representing each of UEFA's member associations. Coaches are not allowed to vote for players from their own team.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
