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

[Jackl87]

I can say that I feel bad for Leipzig, I didn't think they would lose this match. Rangers scored more goals and had a chance to reach the final, that's all.
I wonder what they can do in the final, I wouldn't be surprised if Rangers wins this year. Last night's match was very enjoyable, I love exciting matches.
Rangers was really good

Yes i also feel bad for Leipzig because i think this match came at the wrong time now because after a very strong second half of the season overall until a few weeks ago they have shown some pretty poor performances in the last few matches. They lost their last two matches in the Bundesliga too. If Leipzig would have been in the shape of a few weeks ago then i think they would have not had big problems to beat the rangers yesterday, but that was just not the case.
The final is now totally open for me. I think on paper Frankfurt has the slightly better team but that does not mean anything in a final. Luck can be a big factor there too.

I think that nobody expected any of these 2 teams in the final - especially Rangers. Fair play to them, this is the culmination of their growth in recent seasons and I hope they win it.

Mourinho is in a final again in the Conference league. Think what you want about the guy but he gets trophies - no matter they are second rated ones. They will be big favorites against Feyenoord.

Frankfurt did have a pretty tough match throughout the European league competition, while Rangers were a little more relaxed because they faced a balanced opponent
Maybe this is one of the reasons why Frankfurt is more favored but when we saw what the Rangers did last night it was pretty awesome and they can be a threat

Westham was not able to do much to stop Frankfurt in the second leg last night, the slick game shown by Frankfurt throughout the match forced Westham to leave the European League this season, Frankfurt who played at home, dominated the match especially after Westham  players got a red card to make a Frankfurt games getting crazy, from the start I thought that frankfurt would go to the final, but it wasn't the case with the rangers who really surprised me with their prowess in making a comeback at home against leipzig, in terms of player quality it was clear that leipzig was superior against the rangers, but apparently the rangers did extraordinary things throughout the game and make leipzig have nightmares.
The final match will be held on thursday 19/05/2022 at the sevilla stadium, it will be interesting to see if frankfurt fans who are known for their loyalty to the club will do the same as they did at the camp nou stadium with almost 90% filling stadium seats.

What do you guys think of the quotes for the final?

Frankfurt vs Rangers 2.25/3.2/3.25

Winning the titel:
Frankfurt 1.57
Rangers 2.3

The game will be in 2 weeks in Seville. It will be quite warm there, so not the typical weather of Frankfurt or Glasgow for this time of the year, but the game is in the evening and temperatures won't be too crazy in May either, so I don't think this will have any influence at all.

Frankfurt is slightly favored by the bookmakers, but overall it looks like they expect an open game. I wonder if Frankfurt again manages to get thousands of supporters into the Stadium...

Exactly what I was thinking. We might see Frankfurt supporters in the 5-figures again coming to Seville.

Frankfurt and Rangers have made it to the final, both will battle it out for a prestigious trophy. Flashbacks between the two put Rangers as favourites, but Frankfurt have put in an outstanding display in the quarter-finals and semi-finals.
Ranger occupies the second position in the domestic league, if they fail to win the Europa League trophy, Rangers can still appear in Europe next season. While Frankfurt is ranked 11th in the Bundesliga, if it fails to win the Europa League, Frankfurt will miss Europe next season.

This year's Europa League final is set. Rangers deserve praise for their performance. There is a fighting spirit among the team members that can overcome anything that stands in their way. Frankfurt deserve final. It has been a perfect journey. Frankfurt is the outright favorite to make it to the final after hammering Barcelona. Teams there are very competitive. The teams play fast, beautiful football. It will be an interesting final by all accounts. Rangers vs Frankfurt is going to be a good matchup, both teams are excellent, but I predict Frankfurt to win. I wish them all the best.

It was a really good performance from Ranges in the second leg because they made a good comeback and won the match which I did not expect that they would be able to do. The final is going to be between Frankfurt and Rangers and I believe Frankfurt has the upper hand here because they have impressed a lot of people including me with their playstyle and they have been really convincing in the Europa League.

The match between Rangers vs Frankfurt looks to be enjoyable. Ranger's performance against Leipzig was very good. We all thought the Leipzig team was the favorite. But to everyone's surprise, the Rangers won 3-1. The rangers' performance was very tidy. And the final is going to be very difficult for Frankfurt. I think the Rangers will be the champions this time to everyone's surprise.

I'm so happy for them! Big up Rangers. Coming back from Division 3, and putting out some really top teams such as Leipzig and the rest of them and now a Europa league final. Rangers are truly back. I just hope we can bring this trophy to Glasgow what a team absolute warriors. We will be making history.

[muratsink]

Will be an ideal final match between Rangers vs Frankfurt where both teams performed well in the semifinals, for the Rangers themselves this is a very dramatic victory and also very proud as they are back in their first final of the season after fighting against RB Leipzig where they managed to beat the Germans with a score of 3-1 they went on to lead 3-1 on aggregate after the first match Glasgow rangers had to admit I was seeded host RB leipzig but they did a great job at home, where the rangers managed to go 2-0 up in the first leg. The first half was through goals from Tavernier and Kamara, although RB leipzig had pulled one back and gave them hope but Lundstram's late goal towards the end of the second half secured the Rangers a ticket to the final.

[DanWalker]

Oh man I won my bet on Frankfurt, but I lose my bet on Leipzig, my predictions aren't wrong since Frankfurt and Leipzig are played better. The thing is on Leipzig vs Rangers, Leipzig missed many big chance goals, it's sad on minutes 70 Laimer's shot was hitting the pole, if it's goal it will be 3-2 and ended with penalties (though I still lose my bet too lol). However recently we have see many underdog team able to beat the favored team, did anyone think Rangers might become the champion?

Expect Frankfurt to win the Europa League this time because they have it really well in the Europa League and their performance was really convincing against almost all the teams.  meanwhile, on the other hand, Rangers I have certainly played well but their performance was not very convincing. but another thing is at this level of the competition past performances really don't matter.

[Alisha-k]

West Ham vs Eintracht started very interestingly! The English conceded a goal in the first minute... Eintracht claim the Europa League title after beating Barca... Don't know if West Ham will be able to rectify the situation, but so far luck is not on their side...

Quite unfortunate that West Ham have to lose to Frankfurt like that despite playing beautifully. Although they had their eyes on the goal, the only results they were able to achieve was to get red cards, shortening their men. Kudos to David Moyes for being able to carry them into the semi's of the Europa even tho they could not qualify, there were a fun team to watch.

These two teams are of course still a surprise this season because no one expected them to get this far in the Europa League and even if we look at these two clubs are actually underdogs who have exceeded expectations.
some of the big teams that were indeed their favorites to beat, such as Barcelona and Westham, who were beaten by Frankfurt, and Borussia Dortmund and Leipzig, which were defeated by Ranger.

In this final I might be careful in determining the bet because in the last semi-final I lost to Leipzig but was still saved by Frankfurt. and now at the end of the game I don't want defeat to happen to me again

I agree with this because I think even though Frankfurt did not play well in their own respective League they have certainly shown great performance in the Europa League and obviously are the better contender for winning the Europa League this year. I think the type of football that Frankfurt has played in this Europa league surely outclasses ranges. but it is obviously the finals and anything can happen. we should not judge which team is going to win just based on the previous performance.

I'm still not sure if Frankfurt will win. Many people say that the Rangers are weak. But in the last few Europa League matches I have seen Rangers perform. Their performance was very good. The match tactics and the performance of the players were both good. And so I still think both teams have a 50-50 chance of winning the title.

From the odds, we clearly see that Frankfurt is considered as a stronger team in the Europa League final match. Rangers is a big club from Scotland but the Scotland national league does not belong to top five leagues in the Europe. Therefore, their players don't have regular tough match like Frankfurt players have every week in Bundesliga.

Don't forget to take into account the current position of Frankfurt in Bundesliga. Their position means they are actually a very good club in Bundesliga and are fighting with Leipzig for a fourth position in order to join Champions League. They will have two options to participate in Champions League: win Europa League final or finish this season in the fourth position in Bundesliga.

You seem to confuse Frankfurt with Freiburg or Leverkusen. Frankfurt is ranked 11th in the middle of the table with no hope for international qualification whatsoever. Frankfurt played a pretty bad 2nd half of the season, which is why winning the Euro League is their only hope for an international tournament next year.

Leipzig on the other hand is safely qualified for the Euro League next year, but they still fight for the Champions League qualification.

It is indeed difficult to compare Frankfurt and the Rangers, just because their respective leagues are very different. I also think that the Rangers have a good chance for winning, just because they already kicked out other top teams.

Maybe what you say is true but based on the betting market Frankfurt  little more favorite percentage is Frankfurt 55:45 Rangers track record might be a reference
Another interesting thing is the draw maybe most gambling markets predict winners can be determined through penalties yes this is a bit reasonable
I myself have not made a choice still waiting for related news and personal analysis.

Mourinho is in a final again in the Conference league. Think what you want about the guy but he gets trophies - no matter they are second rated ones. They will be big favorites against Feyenoord.

Yes, I thought West Ham and Barcelona were going to be the finalists of this Europa league but I was proved wrong. I have to say these two teams played really well to reach the finals and  I am really shocked to see the way Frankfurt played because I don't remember watching this type of teamwork from them in their own respective League. I really think that Frankfurt is going to win the Europa League.

yeah, Giovanni made something with Rangers
interesting enough, both Rangers and Feyenoord kicked-out Serbian clubs few rounds ago (Feyenoord kicked Partizan, and Rangers kicked Zvezda), they are probably waiting them to win the competition to tell that they were second best, but draw was not on them

I am certainly with Rangers in the final, and would not be Sevilla citizen for the final, fans will probably make hell from their lives few days around the match

[KTChampions]

All the matches ended as I suggested yesterday. West Ham successfully lost to Eintracht Frankfurt and Glasgow Rangers thrashed Leipzig. I don't understand those who thought Leipzig were favourites for this match. I hope Rangers win the final against Eintracht, they deserve it. They have managed to surprise everyone this season and become the main sensation of the Europa League, and again after 14 years will play in the final.

The Rangers with great difficulty were able to get around Braga in the previous round and in general they are representatives of a very weak championship. On the basis of what could one assume that Leipzig is not a favorite in this pair? In fact, they were lucky in one game and the overall score of 3-2 in their favor does not mean anything. This is the usual random that happens.

West Ham and Barcelona are two of the favorites for the final that has failed this season by a team that has played poorly in their domestic league. Frankfurt are showing something different in the Europa League but they are still pretty bad in the Bundesliga, but it is they who have proven themselves to be good in Europe and should not be underestimated.

Frankfurt are the favorites for the title, that's very likely after they put in a great performance beating the previous favourite. I agree about the possibility, but the final is a tough match to predict.

The end shall justify the means, let's hope Rangers bring the trophy home, they gave everything so I think they deserve the position they are in right now. I like their form, they do a lot of teamwork and with that, I doubt if any team can stop them right now. Rangers is on fire.
