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

[ampere]

Rangers and Frankfurt already fliped people predictions that as underrated teams they will fight for the trophy and i assuming both of teams have equal chance to win the trophy because Rangers and Frankfurt already eleminated tough opponents before reach to final match and whoever the winner of this match will made a history because since UEFA cup changed format and named to Europa league this is first time for them went to final match

I wouldn;t say they flipped, when Barcelona was tiered against Frankfurt; the bookies supported outrightly that Barcelona will be knocked out of the europa league with the odds ratio; i also personally watched the tie and concluded that Frankfurt was a core favorite. The big question meanwhile is that would Rangers be able to replicate their form on the biggest stage in the final of the europa league ?

I don't recall that. When Barcelona played Frankfurt, Barcelona was the favorite by a huge margin. They were also the favorite to win the cup as soon as they entered it. Almost everybody expected Frankfurt to get knocked out in their 2nd leg, when they showed their amazing performance in their away game.
But similarly the Rangers knocked out some favorites like Dortmund and Leipzig. I do expect a pretty open game

Frankfurt have eliminated the team who are favorites in the Europa League, since meeting Real Betis, Frankfurt is not seeded. Surprisingly Frankfurt managed to score 2 goals at home to Real Betis with the final score 2-1 for Frankfurt's victory.  In the second match Frankfurt drew 1-1 with Betis, while making Agg 3-2. Frankfurt incarnated like the team that killed the champion favourites, Barcelona and West Ham must recognize the greatness of Frankfurt in the Europa League stage.
Now that Frankfurt is in the final, Rangers will be Frankfurt's last opponents in the Europa League. Frankfurt must continue their sweet journey in order to lift the Europa League trophy while maintaining their chances of appearing in the Europa next season.

yes, that's true. Frankfurt did eliminate two of the most favorite teams in the Europa League. honestly, no one expected them to win against those two teams.  and that made the claim stronger that a lot of people have been making about Frankfurt that they will be able to win the Europa League this year. If they can do that it will be really great to witness. but the other thing is Rangers are obviously not an easy opponent. It is going to be a great Europa League final and I believe both teams are going to score.

[slaman29]

Of course all possibilities are still possible, that's literally the definition of possibility lol

Rangers definitely seemed to drop off this season after the incredible run last year under current Villa boss but I think it was always slightly impossible to sustain that type of form PLUS Celtic are the ones I guess who are going all out and improving this season.

But you're right, because of that, makes this final super exciting because it's not just a trophy but Champions League qualification next season (in case either lose out on the spots from their home league).

I believe both teams have performed really well in this Europa league but I have to say that the way Frankfurt have played in this Europa league has certainly convinced me that they are a better team than then Rangers.

But, obviously accepting that fact and giving Ranges no chance in the final is not an option because Rangers have also proved themselves to be in this position. so I am going to say that Frankfurt will share the play a better brand of football in the finals.

They ARE the better team than Rangers. Almost any team that can finish top half in the big leagues will be considered a favorite against any Scottish clubs be it Rangers or Celtic. The coefficients are always in their favor and nobody will ever put Rangers as the favorite among those. It is a far bigger achievement for them to be in the final hence the celebrations. Let's see though, who plays better. Villareal played better than Bayern and you'd never have guessed this to be the case

The thing is both team are an underdogs and no one predict they will move to final, however I'm more confident Frankfurt will win against Rangers. Frankfurt has a better on point shoots rather than Rangers even though they have very low ball possession. Club with low ball possession and still can launch on point shoots isn't easy, so they can play either defensive and aggressive as they want. Currently Frankfurt's odds is 2.21x it's quite high odds for a favorited club.

With the form of both teams right now predicting about any team is not easy because both teams are capable of winning this title after having very interesting matches in their knock-out stages with this all Rangers is already two times in this final and never won, but Frankfurt is having their first final in many decades which is very good from them even they are the worst team in Bundesliga but still doing amazing running of form in Europa Cup with this I am also favoring German side for winning this year's title even it's just personal view and could be wrong but their form and quality in this competition is surely having some good impact in last few matches, and they are capable of beating any team on any ground with their performance and quality.

To be honest I don't think thinking about the previous performance of both teams is going to make any difference because in my opinion they have proved themselves so far in the Europa league and frankfurt has played certainly better in this Europa League.

It is really hard to predict which team is going to win but I have to say Frankfurt seems to be ahead of their opponent in terms of both preparation and also play style. as Frankfurt teams have a history and points to prove in the Europa league so they will surely try their best to win.

Yes, Frankfurt does seem to be performing well, don't they?  I saw a few of the matches played by Frankfurt and I really like the way they have played in those matches. They are passing the ball with intent and not just moving the ball from one place to another just to wait for something to happen, they are actually trying to make something happen instead, that's what found them the success that they are having in the Europa League in my opinion. and they have also proved themselves against better opponents so I think they have a better chance in the final.

In theory I would also say that Frankfurt have a better chance of winning the final than Rangers.
But Rangers also had a great season in the Europa League. They as a team are very solid and will certainly have a good game.
So, even if in theory Frankfurt has better conditions to win, I think the victory will go to Rangers.

Yes, that is also true, at this stage of any competition there can be a lot of surprises and even though I think Frankfurt should be the winner in the finals, I am not going to be totally surprised if I see the match going otherwise. Obviously, maybe something like this could happen if Frankfurt somehow underestimates their opponent and will suffer for it last minute.

the fact that these two teams were not even seen as a strong team before, so they managed to become the team that will compete in the final is certainly a surprise. Therefore, when these two surprise teams compete in the final, the final result I think will be a surprising result as well. Even though Frankfurt look better but I personally think in the final match they will certainly be very different, because the final match will only be played once so of course they will exert all their strength from the first minute of the match.

LOL, two shocking final contestants in the Europa League this season. Frankfurt are very good and very lucky to have reached the final so far after being doubtful against Barcelona and West Ham. However it turned out that both favorites ultimately fell short of their hopes of reaching the final after Frankfurt came out victorious in the second leg.

So against Rangers in the final will certainly be very interesting for them and their supporters. Each one has the same chance of winning the match and the title and they will 100% give everything from the start of the match. I thought Frankfurt would win this competition, but Rangers are there for the same purpose.

There is no doubt we have much better teams then these two in event but here luck and some good strategy helps these two to for reaching into final as many teams lost good matches on their bad days and out of event, but now all is settled, and these two are going to fight for this year's title race with most chances Frankfurt is going to be some favorite even both are level in quality and performance, but some good aggressive game is helping them for having some good edge against Rangers.

Still, this is any team game as on his day Ranger can also produce some good upset they already lost two times in this competition history hopefully this will not happen third time for them.

[Smartvirus]

Well, one can say it was really lucky of both the Bundesliga side Eintracht Frankfurt and the Scottish side Rangers to have come this far in the Europa. In fact, my favourite at the time was FC Barcelona after they left the UCL and it did feel like a lucky compensation for a trophy with them not even close to winning therr domestic Laliga trophy, unfortunately they got kicked out in the in the quarter finals by Eintracht Frankfurt. When it came to the semi finals, Rangers had a more difficult opponent in RB Leipzig than we can say of Eintracht Frankfurt facing off West Ham United that even came down with a red card, after loosing there first leg. Ranges struggled and forth for a come back which they surprisingly got.

Although, looking at both teams now, I can't say Rangers have got much hope on winning the trophy. My best bet would go to Eintracht Frankfurt but, I hope Rangers win!

Is a strange final because the teams competing are not household names, but I think they both deserve to be there let's not forget that Spanish giant Barcelona was in this league and westham too and Frankfurt eliminate both of them to reach this final, even liepzieg played the semi final with Rangers but the Scottish giants beat them to reach this final also so let's not underrate this team because they have pay their dues. Frankfurt are now the favourite but I will prefer Rangers to win it.

I agree with you that this year's Europa League final was quite strange, because the two teams that qualified for the final were not the top teams.
Even Barcelona, ​​which is the strongest candidate to win the Europa League trophy, had to fall early. So the result becomes difficult to predict which
team will win the Europa League trophy. Although actually the two teams are not favorites to win, I agree that they both deserve to be winners of
the Europa League trophy. Since both teams made it to the final it was impossible just by luck alone, they must have a strong mentality and also
good performance. So the Frankfurt vs Rangers match will be an interesting final match to watch. I appreciate your prediction that Rangers as
the favorite champion, but I like most people will prefer Frankfurt who will be the winner of the Europa League trophy this year. Because Frankfurt
has been tested before by successfully defeating some of the stronger teams. So I'm pretty optimistic that Frankfurt will win the Europa League trophy.

Both clubs are not predicted to be the clubs for the final. Exactly I also bet for Barcelona at that time and in fact, Frankfurt was able to beat Barcelona or even Barcelona that underestimated Frankfurt .. But let it go.
Seems like I don't have the club to be supported again here. Both Frankfurt and also Ranger seems to be new favorites and hopefully they both can give an attractive and impressive final match.

I’ll second that because not even in my wildest dreams was I expecting these two teams to make it to the finals, and both deserve lots of credit for their overall performance in the Europa League. However if I had to pick one team to win then I would pick Frankfurt, because I liked how they have played and they have shown all the signs of how big teams play, hence I feel that they’ll lift the Europa League Cup.

At that time I also favored Barcelona. even made a bet for Barcelona's victory. but unfortunately, many gamblers who I think also lost this match.
everyone must be surprised by Frankfurt's appearance. they are not the underdog team to enter the final. but got the luck of their hard work to reach the final. even forced Barcelona to fast for the title this season.

Frankfurt surprised a lot of people with their good mentality and passion in the game, they came out without too much of a burden and what was great about them was their deadly counter-attack. They also have a good defense and that helps them not concede a lot of goals, and now they are in the final although I'm not so sure they can win it.

I didn't really know much about the two teams reaching the Europa League final this season mainly because they weren't the favorites team, but the success of both teams reaching the final has taken a lot of people by surprise because usually Spanish teams always dominate the Europa League. Unfortunately Barcelona fell out, that disappointed the fans.
