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

[Altryist]

Rangers is up
I would be really glad to see Giovanni with a EL title this year, it was completely unexpected in the beginning, but that could be said for Frankfurt as well

Rangers was really down a decade ago, started from the scratch, and EL title would be an icing on the cake for them, and Giovanni was a great player, this would put him as great manager too

In terms of the game, I would say that Eintracht deserves to win more, but this is conditional, because in football it happens that the one who plays better does not always win. Both teams deserved the EL Cup, whoever wins it, will be deserve. All the same, I would venture to suggest that Eintracht will raise the cup today over their heads. I also expected that today there would be more goals in the match, but the Rangers chose defensive football tactics, and this affected the result of the match.

really both teams performed quite well in this final. a draw is something they have to accept in the second half. I think the Europa League Final is like the Fa Cup Final where there has to be extra time. I am optimistic that this final will end in a penalty shootout. so now the second half has ended just now. I'm sure Rangers will make substitutions in midfield in the first half of extra time. hope the rangers can score early in extra time.

Too bad Hauge came in, he didn't finish a single move well, just as Knauff did all of them wrong, he made all of the wrong decisions. I think that if they had made good decisions, Eintrach Frankfurt could already be champion.
And in the goal of Rangers, Ndika can make any more.

[KTChampions]

Judging by the way the teams play the second half of extra time, they are, firstly, very tired and lack strength, and secondly, they are building strategies for the penalty shootout  I did not think that the game would end in this way, and even more so, it is definitely impossible to predict the result of a penalty shootout. I can say one thing - both teams deserve the cup.

It's not that easy to determine the winner in the final match every team will try to do their best all need calculations one mistake can be a regret
even if the winner is determined by penalty shootout we can't confirm who the winner is each team has their own advantages
Basically luck can help it's just that we don't know who is luckier we can see it after the match ends.

Eintracht Frankfurt vs Glasgow Rangers and maybe 100,000 Rangers fans will be in Seville…in the stadium and outside for public viewing. The prices for the tickets are rising extremely on the market. 1500€ for a ticket + XXX€ for the hotel that are completely booked out and then the flight, that will be extremely expensive.

45,000 seat are the capacity of sanchez pizjuan , there might be around 60,000 supporter outside which yeah i that is huge event for both fans. rangers back in the european final after 14 years waiting .. the last time they reached the final are in 2008 where they face zenit but losing it.

this time they are trying to winning it , 50/50 as i said in this final , have no idea who gonna win but im backing rangers.

Of course, it is not clear who will win, but my expectation is that Rangers will win. Many people think that Frankfurt will win, but since Frankfurt will give a few positions in the first minutes, the balance is disturbed. Rangers can win if they take this into account.

I don't know, for me these teams are different levels, and Frankfurt in my eyes looks much higher than Rangers. We'll see what happens, they have no margin for error as the match is one. I think Frankfurt will start pressing from the first minutes, but if they don't score, I don't know if they will survive physically until the end of the match because they will expend a lot of energy.

And yet, no matter what I thought of them, Rangers scored first in the second half, though they conceded 12 minutes later. With extra time underway, the game is actually a tough one for both teams. At least it feels that way when you watch it live, both teams are tired and there might be penalties and there's no telling who will win

I agree, rangers already make a very good performance in the European league by qualifying to the final and they know well that the mission will not be easy for them at all so they will try to play defensively and really on contre attacks and try to surprise Frankfurt defence

[arallmuus]

My bet is today clear for Frankfurt and it will probably be a high-scoring match, if you like risky bets I think that both teams will score + Frankfurt will be the winner. Of course, no recommendation, everyone has to decide for themselves what they bet.

A draw and one goal for both sides. Considering that both of these 'underdogs' actually made it to the final means both of those teams are not going to waste this opportunity to win a trophy therefore it was as expected to be pretty much even game with decent ball possession for both sides. Few minutes to go until penalty shootout though, Rangers might win if this goes to penalty

[TheGreatPython]

Frankfurt @2.45 and Rangers @2.90. I think these are evenly matched odds and neither one is too much of a favourite, so both really have a chance to win. I personally can't underestimate either of them because both of them came into this final in an unpredictable way too, so with them playing in this final they have basically been the best this season. But even so, I was expecting the surprise that Rangers might make, but I can't forget Frankfurt's performance. Regardless of the available odds, I personally still admit that Frankfurt has a better chance of winning.

I do agree that odds are getting a bit situations, it's not going to be easy to decide who will win. This is going to be an entertaining game and we will end up with some good game to watch. We should be focusing on something much closer but at the same time we have no idea what's going to happen maybe we are going to end up with a game that is 5-0 who knows? This is why we shouldn't really expect anything at all.

This should be something we should be just enjoying watching it without caring about the result itself, just the game itself. It's not the destination that is beautiful, it is the road that should be good and this is that type of game.

Frankfurt have some experienced players when it comes to penalty while Rangers have a very good goalkeeper in this case luck is also needed
I personally can't decide who will win because both are very necessary it's just that no one knows who's luckier before we see this drama end
Those who win are the best, those who lose are not the worst luck only chooses one.

I am surprised how you tipped that Frankfurt will win, I am not sure you are viewing the match. To tell you how bad the match is, after first half, I switched off my television and entered my bedroom. The match is so boring that it is only Rangers that were trying to play good football, especially the Nigerian Aribo. Frankfurt doesn't have a game plan in the match. They cannot complete passes in the opponent's half. The only option left for them is to introduce people that can take shots from outside 18 box.
I was surprised tonight and I asked myself that is this the same Frankfurt that eliminated Barcelona?

Edit: I have checked my livescore and the same Aribo scored.

Cannot follow it as a whole since I am working but I am listening and taking a look from time to time.
I won't deny that I am influenced a bit by Frankfurt result against Barcelona particularly.
The game ended by penalties after all, no surprise tho and Frankfurt won it (5-4). My prediction was somehow correct after all

[darxiaomi]

How you can put to shot a penalty an Ex Arsenal player?

By God how are you going to put a player as cold and bloodless as ramsey.
A pity that last play that Trapp saves in extra time with that goal Rangers were champions.
Equally any of the two deserved the title.

[LTU_btc]

When you score all 5 penalties in shootout, you rarely can lose game. All shots were so well made that McGregor had no chances to save it. Congratulations to Eintracht!
About whole game, it was typical final, not most beautiful to watch and it's nothing surprising that 90 minutes weren't enough.
So, Bundesliga next season will have 5 teams in Champions league. And it's first time when team from Germany wins Europa league.

It's all over!

The match managed to stretch to extra time and moved to penalties shoot out and Ramsey did the flop. At every shootout there must be a man of error and Ramsy decided to be the man. He sent the ball in the middle and didn't put it up and Trapp successfully trapped it.
Frankfurt is not among the best clubs in the Europa League, they were like average clubs but they are champions today.
Congratulations to them and hopefully they will do well in next year Champions League.

Frankfurt even finished 11th this season in the Bundesliga but Frankfurt are the Europa League champions today exactly as you said
I've said before both teams have their respective advantages it's just that no one can resist that luck which is on the Frankfurt side
Even though Rangers lost, it's not a bad team they're just unlucky this year

[Velvet78]

What a finale it was! Frankfurt and Rangers competed against each other and honestly Frankfurt played much better during the first ninety minutes. But Rangers still managed to carry the game to extra time. They were even the side to get ahead first in the game too. But in extra time, Rangers played really dominantly against their opponent. They found many goal chances but couldn't benefit from them. And the penalties ended earlier than I expected. Frankfurt managed to win 5-4 by penalties and became the champions. Aaron Ramsey missed the penalty for Rangers by the way.

[Zlantann]

A very disappointing night for Rangers. For me they were the better side and had more opportunities to win the match. Frankfurt are just lucky to win this finals because Rangers would have gotten a late goal from Ryan Kent if not for  goalkeeper Kevin Trapp's leg that blocked the ball. Just like the two finals between Liverpool and Chelsea, I would say that both teams did there best but mother luck had to favour Frankfurt. The best player for me in this final match is Calvin Bassey, he was very solid and confident in the Rangers defence. I am really disappointed that Rangers didn't make it to the Champions league.

[Jasad]

Congratulation for Frankfurt as the champion on europe league after defeating Ranger trough penalty kick after both team draw until extra time. Great achievement for Frankfurt because have chance participant on champion leafue by getting ticket become the winner on europe league. I missed watch match but I saw so excited with Frankfurt fans watch on their stadium fully.

Frankfurt deserves this trophy by all means, and It's definitely not about luck being on their side, They eliminated both Barcelona and West Ham subsequently, that's definitely not what luck gets you, I'd say.  It was a quite even game imo, and could have gone either ways, but the most important thing to agree with is that Frankfurt were just brilliant in the tournament and got the ultimate prize.

[lulumiya]

I also think that Frankfurt completely deserved to be the winner of the title. They were the better playing side most of the time in the first place. Penalty shoot-outs was a big chance for Rangers to take advantage of but they couldn't. And Frankfurt managed to make it. I still appreciate both of these teams. They both eliminated great opponents so far. Hence I think both of them deserved to play in the finale.

[MinoRaiola]

Borre shoots Eintracht Frankfurt to the title and all in Europe watches. The 1:1 was extremely important and no one else could have done it. It was a great day for all German fans. If you saw the whole game, Frankfurt simply did more to win. More than twice as many shots on goal.
