⚽UEFA Europa League Discussion Thread -- 2021/22 Winners: Eintracht Frankfurt!

[Jackl87]

So.. Cresswell gets red carded in their 1st QF game against Lyon in the 45th minute. West Ham manages to draw the game and progress after a great away game in France.
Cresswell returns and gets RED CARDED in 19th minute of their 2nd semifinal - giving Eintracht a clear path to the final.
I really don't know what I'd tell him if I was Moyes.

To get a red card that early in the game was really unlucky for Westham and definitely a huge factor in the match today. I also have to say though that this red card was totally deserved as the player of frankfurt could have moved completely alone towards the goal otherwise and thankfully the video referee insisted there and let the referee check that scene again. Overall i think that Frankfurt has deserved to go through to the final. They were the better team over the two legs in my opinion and the fans were just great today again.
The result of the other match is very surprising to me as Leipzig had the best squad out of all 4 teams that were in the semi final.

Frankfurt and Rangers finally made it to the final of this season's Europa League after beating their opponents today. Frankfurt are doing really well and they are really very motivated to do well in the Europa League even though they are not doing well in the Bundesliga. But I was surprised by Rangers' victory because in my opinion Leipzig were favorites to the final, but Leipzig's hopes were dashed at the hands of the team who lost 1-0 in the first leg. Congratulations to Rangers and Frankfurt for reaching the final. Chances are I would think Frankfurt would win the title.

What a win for both teams and its gonna be an intresting final now for sure. Rangers made a really surprising win and won with a disadvantage from last game. I think Frankfurt is the favorite in the finals and im going with them to win the europe league

A very fine performance by the Rangers. Leipzig has a better team and they also come from the Champions League. In the final they are the underdogs, but I expect a lot of supporters to come and support them and that could give them a boost. Frankfurt has impressed more in this tournament, both teams were not favorites to win the tournament.

[darxiaomi]

I am really very happy for Rangers, after suffering for many years and being on the verge of disappearing, they will be able to play in a final.
I hope they win it, although it will be very difficult, it would be great to see them in the next edition of the Champions League. They are a historic team and it is good to see them back in the big leagues.

Really, it was a beautiful night for Rangers as well as Frankfurt. They managed to secure themselves to the final this season after impressing in their respective matches. People are very surprised at Rangers as they are not favorites to the final especially since Leipzig are the opponents, but the truth is the result is in their favour.

But for sure, it is very difficult for us to predict who will win the title between these two teams because I think both of them look balanced in terms of quality. Frankfurt performed well and convincingly beat Barcelona, ​​but they are still doubtful about winning the title.

Glasgow Rangers 1 - 0 RB Leipzig

 

in the last game of RB Leipzig I lost money because I bet on them, and from what I see today I will also lose money because I bet on them, I kept thinking several times if it was a good option to bet on them, something told me to bet on Rangers, I think that this game is already decided. I doubt Rangers will lose this game, at most they can draw, but they won't lose

Rangers 2-0 already. Leipzig doesn't seem to be a safe bet tonight. Their chances for qualification are decreasing, now at 2.15 (compared to Rangers 1.55).

On the other hand Frankfurt is now ahead 1-0, which will make it very hard for West Ham to still have a chance. West Ham qualification currently pays 23.0
I think Frankfurt will make it now, Leipzig on the other hand looks like they got a bad night ahead.

these guys from RB Leipzig were simply slaughtered, the guys lost and conceded 3 goals, when they lost in the bundesliga game which by the way was a game I watched, I didn't see them playing well and I remember wondering if they would really survive in this game against the rangers, and even with that negative thought of mine I went to bet on them, I should have followed my instinct and I wouldn't have bet on them, with their loss I had reduced profit. shame for this team from RB Leipzig, they were so good and they are currently bad, in the bundesliga they can even lose their place in the table they are currently in if they don't improve, because they were in a good position to go to the champions league, but currently declined and lost the place for the champions league, leaving only the place for the europe league, so even the place for the european league can lose



Eintracht Frankfurt 1 - 0 West Ham United

at least I made a profit in this game, this west ham has been playing badly lately, it doesn't even seem that at the beginning of the season they were a good team, out of nowhere they started to lose points and the quality level of the team started to decline a lot. I wonder what happened to this team?

Eintracht Frankfurt 1 - 0 West Ham United

I wonder what happened to this team?

Cresswell's red card is truly an unthinkable problem in this match. Instantly the game turned around after he came out and Westham couldn't help but have to survive which made them unable to minimize the position and had to accept the reality they lost in the semi -finals.

On the other hand Frankfurt is indeed extraordinary, they are still able to maximize what they have and they are truly focused on the Europa League

[Falconer]

What a win for both teams and its gonna be an intresting final now for sure. Rangers made a really surprising win and won with a disadvantage from last game. I think Frankfurt is the favorite in the finals and im going with them to win the europe league

Hahaha, that's football. Sometimes it's surprising and sometimes it's really annoying.
But by the way, do you believe Frankfurt can win the Europa League title this season? For me they are the best at the moment in the final, but anything can happen in that decider.

[Welsh]

I know it's a while off from the final, but I'm just going to leave a prediction here, that I'm quietly confident on. I'm thinking 2-0 Liverpool (barring any injuries). Think that's quite a bold prediction to make, however I do think we have the defensive capabilities of keeping them quiet, Trent will need to be on his best game for Vinicius Jr, but other than that I'm quite confident in our back line.

Plus, our front line is absolutely devastating to the best of teams, and I believe Real Madrid have demonstrated a real weakness in defense, even in that City game they needed to plug the holes a little better, they just got a tad fortunate that City wasn't quite up for the game, otherwise they could've easily conceded more. We'll also be wanting some revenge for getting knocked out last time by them, I honestly still have flashbacks about Karius, and those goals...by one of my most favourite players .

For me i think the Rangers team seem to be the one to lift the Europa Trophy come the end of the month; the top Scottish clubside has defeated every odds as an underdog. Frankfurt also will be relishing their chances; after defeating Barcelona; they have to believe they can scale through and lift the trophy; I thin Rangers will play the final without any pressure as an underdog; while Frankfurt the favorites would panic. I am tipping Rangers to win
 who has your bet ?

[Velvet78]

Rangers showed a great performance against Leipzig and made their supporters very happy today. They had a solid start by scoring two goals in a short time first. Leipzig finally managed to make the score 2-1 maybe but Rangers had the last word in the last ten minutes by making it 3-1. Leipzig were helpless about scoring again and Rangers didn't let the game to be played more than 90 minutes. Rangers have been incredible until this point and I wonder if they will be able to win the EL title too.

-snip-

Surprisingly, it seems that in the Europa League final we will see two underdogs at once 

Rangers 3 - 1 Leipzig (3 - 2 aggregate)
Frankfurt 1 - 0 West Ham (3 - 1 aggregate)
Well, surprise! surprise! Leipzig got kicked, who could imagine that Rangers gonna do it!!
Frankfurt in the other hand was doing good in EL and after the first leg it was expected to proceed to the final.
Frankfurt gonna face Rangers in the final game in a competition that used to have Barcelona, Dortmund, Leipzig, Napoli, Atalanta, Porto, Leverkusen and the old champion Sevilla!
Frankfurt to win EL this year?

Football is not a game that is easy to predict, especially these European competitions, I thought liepzieg will win easily especially with a goal advantage from the first leg even though I supported Rangers to win the game, I know liepzieg won't let that happen because they are more experience in Europe than the Scottish giants, then the other game breaks my heart because West ham was the team that I want to go to the champions League so it will be five English team in uefa champions League next season but they disappoint but the Germans side are good, credit to them for removing Barcelona and now West ham.

For me, I think the game is going to be a tough one because Rangers is in good form same as Frankfurt but we know in football, form and experience does not win the game alone but you have to utilize the chances you have if possible score goals and defend properly with that victory is assured.
The better side should win.

I remember quoting someone here about the advantage and unshakable record Rangers have had all through this Europa cup season playing at home.

It has always be a Home game come back for them this season and tonight they have proven it so. Leipzig never saw this coming, not in this score line 3:1. even if they were to lose at Rangers home.

Like it has been an exciting nights in the week right from the UCL wonders to Europa astonishment results. The only difficult part here is who's actually going to win the Europa cup this season cause the both teams in the finals are just unpredictable.

[dezoel]

As the last English team in the Europa, West Ham has a lot of pressure to show the power of Premier league, they have one foot in the UCL finals, and if the other is in the Europa finals that would be great for them in the future, if not then they will keep on the fight with La Liga for sure.

Real is basically the main reason for it, they keep winning UCL or being high around there which causes them to be giving La Liga a chance for the rankings of the leagues as well. In the end whoever is the better team that will give us the most entertainment should win, I am fine with Frankfurt and anyone coming from the other game as long as we have fun.

[FlamingFingers]

I don't know why some people are blaming Moyes, David Moyes has guided West Ham to their record Premier League points total and their first European semi-final in 46 years, so It’s vital the club use this as a foundation to bring in new players that he has identified and build from here. Getting to this stage is a big plus for them, hopefully next season they try harder

who knows, maybe they will win the European league this year, anything can happen...

we've seen how hard the struggle of frankfurt and their luck (eliminating Barca and west ham), against west ham they (Frankfurt) performed well and were very compact. the final will take place in Sevilla and that is fair for both teams.

Frankfurt to win EL this year?

The most unexpected result is the relegation of Leipzig - they were extremely good for a long time and stumbled at the very end. Now we have a rather difficult task - to decide who to root for in the final  
I'll think about it later, but I think that the Barsafans will all be rooting for Frankfurt (after all, we are strong since we only lost to the champion)

I've admired David Moyes since he was manager of Everton, I think Moyes is quite good as a coach. But to train a big team with many star players,
Moyes is not experienced enough, therefore he failed when he became Man United coach. David Moyes is more suited to coaching a mediocre team
like West Ham, even since Moyes has been the main coach of West Ham since 2017, I see West Ham developing very well every season. The peak
last season was Moyes managed to make West Ham in the top 6, That's a very good achievement in my opinion with the quality of players that
West Ham have.

Now in this season Moyes almost made West Ham in the top 4 in the Premier League, unfortunately West Ham's form declined towards the end of
the season. Likewise, West Ham's performance in the Europa League, in my opinion, being able to advance to the semifinals is a very good achievement,
and now West Ham have been knocked out of the Europa League we can't blame Moyes, he did his best in my opinion, After all, the opponent was
Frankfurt who managed to get rid of Barcelona, so if West Ham were finally defeated by Frankfurt, it would still be natural. Hopefully next season
West Ham can play even better and after West Ham were eliminated from the Europa League, they can concentrate now in the Premier League to try
to be in the top 7 in order to play in European competition next season.
