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

[Rengga Jati]

Congratulations to Eintracht Frankfurt as the winner of the Europe League.
You deserve the trophy.
We know how your journey to the final, beating Barcelona and also some other bigger clubs on the journey to the final, making some surprises in the match.
Although you won with a penalty, I am sure that you have tried your best. The rangers also have tried the best and most optimal one, moreover, they scored first in 57 and had more ball possession. But both didn't have a big chance to shoot on target. Both defenses were good enough.

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.

As I thought Frankfurt ended up winning the Europa League trophy, but I didn't think the winner had to be decided on a penalty shootout.
Overall the two teams played pretty well, because the strength of the two teams is almost the same. We can also see from the match statistics
that there is not much difference, so it's actually very natural that in the end it had to be decided on a penalty shootout to determine the winner of
the Europa League trophy. I admit the mentality of the Frankfurt players is very strong, they could have equalized after conceding first and could finally
win a penalty shootout. This Frankfurt victory gave them a ticket to play in the Champions League next season, despite being in 11th place
in the Bundesliga. Congratulations to Frankfurt for winning the Europa League trophy, they really deserve to be winners of the Europa League trophy
after going on an arduous journey to reach the final and finally become champions.

As I thought that Frankkfurtwill wins the match and trophy. Congratulation.
But n the other hand, the Rangers also played very well, they both played optimally, the drawn result proven it. All are balanced until penalties determined the winner. Thanks to Ranger and Frankfurt that gave a nice match.
Although in Bundelisga, Frankfurt doesn't play very well and is now still in the 11hth position, only on the Relegation play-offs.
But at least, they have brought the trophy this year.

Agree. Frankfurt deserves more for the trophy because they eliminated big teams in the Europa league previous rounds. While Rangers have weaker opponents in the journey to the final. But Rangers can give a good challenge to Frankfurt in the final round, they show that they are also deserved team to play in the final. I am a bit surprised that the winning must be determined by a penalty shootout, I guessed Frankfurt will win easily in normal time.

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.

Personally, in my opinion, the final turned out to be quite poor for beautiful football actions. On the other hand, this is the final and such matches are very often boring because of the tension and responsibility of the teams for the result. Still, the UEFA Cup and the title of the winner of the Europa League were at stake, as well as participation in the Champions League for the next season. It was also a chance for both clubs to win a second European Cup after decades after their conquest. I agree that Eintracht looked better in the first 90 minutes of the meeting and the Rangers goal was somewhat against the logic of the match and it's good that the German club managed to equalize the score quickly enough. We can say that both goals of the opponents were the result of gross mistakes of the players in defense. In the extra halves, respectively, the Rangers' attacks looked more dangerous. The funny thing is that the only loser of the penalty shootout turned out to be the most stellar of the punchers, Aaron Ramsey.

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.

All German fans are also happy to have 5 clubs in the champions league because as I know the winner of the UEFA Europa League will be automatically passed to the group  Champions League phase. Previously, many predicted Frankfurt will be easy beating the Rangers in the Final. but, when we look at the match, Joe Aribo makes a surprise by creating a goal in minute 51. this makes Frankfurt quite overwhelmed to catch up with the score. Borre is a hero and saves the club, and maybe Ramsey is the one who feels guilty, the only player who didn't score in a penalty shootout.

by the way, congrats to Eintracht Frankfurt, this is the 2nd time after 1980 or 42 years ago.

[Marykeller]

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.

The Europa League final match between Frankfurt and Rangers wasn't an interesting match for me. Both teams weren't coordinated from the beginning of the match to the end. What I anticipated in the match is not what I see in the match.
Just like the fact that the better team(Frankfurt) won by penalty shootout(5-4). Big congrats to Frankfurt they were superior to the Rangers team

[tulusikhlas]

It seems that these two teams, Eintracht Frankfurt and Rangers, have designed this match to end in a penalty shoot-out. Overall Eintracht Frankfurt played better than Rangers but they still played cautiously without any impressive moves. Not only did Eintracht Frankfurt play like that but Rangers also applied the same pattern of play. Regardless, I congratulate Eintracht Frankfurt for winning the Europa League this season.

all of this is inseparable from the fierce game of the two teams until it comes to the determination of the penalty shootout. in normal time I saw both teams playing equally well but Frankfurt as usual played an effective style of play, they played patiently and carried out dangerous attacks and it paid off well, they were able to create some dangerous chances which ended up being a goal in the 69th minute to equalize the score.
and for the result of the penalty shootout the Frankfurt players are very confident and have a strong mentality that their five executioners can hit the ball in the goal well, they really deserve to win the Europa League this season with what they have been through. My congratulations to Eintracht Frankfurt and their wonderful supporters.

Your assumption clearly has no clear source, how can both teams design the result of the match when Frankfurt and Rangers want to beat their opponents. The final match was boring because both clubs were not seeded from the start, the final atmosphere was little different when compared to big clubs. Regardless of the comments from football fans, Frankfurt have been crowned champions of the Europa League this season.

not the team that designs the match to fight until the penalty shootout, but the team that fights in the final must be prepared for it.
I think it's a great final, it's not boring even though these two teams are not a top star-studded team but the final game of these two teams is very fierce and tense.
Frankfurt who came out as champions of the Europa League this season was amazing, after they were 1 goal behind but they were able to equalize and bring this match to be decided in the penalty shootout.
and the penalty shoot-out in the final requires a very high mentality, that mentality belongs to Frankfurt, they deserved to win this match.

I think it is rather difficult to desgin a match to be decided in penalties. I think both teams would have rather decided the game in 90 or 120minutes instead. The teams were on an equal level, both had their chances to win, but of course in a final the pressure is high, especially for "smaller" teams like Frankfurt and Glasgow which are not likely to repeat such a success every year.
Congratulations to Frankfurt and respect to Glasgow! I was a bit happy to see the "big names" like Dortmund and Barcelona fail and smaler teams to progress instead.

Eintracht Frankfurt really deserved the victory from the match,because they were very strong through out the first half and the second half that made many people to believe that Eintracht Frankfurt will win the Europa league title. Rangers players really demonstrated an excellent performance for not allowed Eintracht Frankfurt strikers to achieve any goal for first half and second which showed that the both teams are the strongest team in this tournament. A big congratulation to Eintracht Frankfurt for the massive victory they got from Rangers.

[FlamingFingers]

Congratulations to frankfurt a trophy well deserved, Frankfurt got the best fans in Europe come on they owe the trophy to those fans grin i love how the players took the trophy to the fans to lift too, I was expecting the match to be a one way game initially, I didn't know that rangers are so good up to this extent

[Alisha-k]

But at least, they have brought the trophy this year.

I feel with this win, it will bolster their confidence to do better in the Bundesliga, and though sitting at the 11th position, they could give big clubs a run for their money. Kudos to them for winning the Europa. At least they were able to win in the Europa, a feat big clubs like Leipzig could not do.

Eintracht Frankfurt's luck has been seen since they met Real Betis. At that time Eintracht Frankfurt was not the favorite team, almost all football fans chose Real Betis as the team that would qualify for the next round. Eintracht Frankfurt again approached luck, they were able to beat Barcelona at Camp Nou. In the semifinals, West Ham also became victims of Eintracht Frankfurt.
After being confirmed not to appear in the Europa next season due to failing to finish in the European zone in the local league, Eintracht Frankfurt were able to beat Rangers in the final, and take a different path to Europe with the status of defending champions.

Indeed, it's just funny how a club will let their opponent to beat them especially it's a final match where each club want to win. Congratulations to Frankfurt become a champion in Europa League after waiting for 51 years! Frankfurt had become a champion on back 1970. In the extra times, Rangers had shoots more than Frankfurt, I thought there's will be at least one goal they would scored. But nope, it's ended with penalties and too bad for Aaron Ramsey have missed it. I hope everyone not blame him after that, he's just unlucky.

Frankfurt and Rangers both played as expected, both scoring goals throughout the match despite only being able to draw for 120 minutes. Frankfurt were lucky to be champions after leading 5-4 on penalties, and they deserved the title because one of Rangers' players failed with the opportunity.

I'm not saying only Frankfurt deserved to win the title because Rangers deserved it too even though they lost on penalties. So congratulations to the winners of the Europa League this season and they deserve to celebrate that success at this time.

eintracht deserved the trophy even though rangers also beat big clubs (dortmund, leipzig) - and what the fans have done for the club over the whole europa league season was and is great.
btw for the first time since 1997 a german club not named bayern munich has won a european titel - congrats flying to frankfurt!!!

[BOAEDAN]

Finally Frankfurt managed to get the European cup and managed to advance to the champions league next season, they both played very well and I think they also played a draw, losing on penalties is not a shameful defeat, but I think Rangers' defeat was due to mentality and did not get luck, With this defeat Rangers have been beaten by Frankfurt 3 times in the European league.
