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

[Iranus]

Frankfurt has shown good overall performance even though the stats of the Europa League suggest otherwise. Frankfurt has played as a team and the goals that they have scored looked really coordinated. That's why I believe they will be able to win in the Europa League final.
But, I am quite sure that both teams are going to score in the final. Rangers are also playing well. Obviously, that's why they are in the finals but they did not face the teams that Frankfurt did on the way to the final.

Yes,  Frankfurt has performed well. They are a team that moves at high pace and their game looks very coordinated. Their fast-paced game will be the key to success in Europa League final!!!  Frankfurt shows good performance in their games and I think they will be able to score some goals in the Europa League final against Rangers!!

You are right. Frankfurt's performance is excellent because the bonding between their players is very good. They adapted very well to each other. At the same time, their counter-attacks are very fast, so that they can easily fool the opponent's defenders. If Rangers want to win in the final then their defenders must play well. And Frankfurt must always be ready to counter the attack.

I think Frankfurt and Rangers have different strengths but they both have high luck, and in this final I think for sure Frankfurt have a better chance of winning. If Frankfurt's final standings in the Bundeliga are not part of the European zone next season then obviously, Frankfurt will be very ambitious to win in the Europa League this season because only with them being the title winners will Frankfurt have a ticket for the Champions League zone for next season. So yes, with Frankfurt's record getting to this final and considering the situation in the final standings of the Bundesliga then at this time I have no doubts that Frankfurt will win the title for this Europa League.

It's a bit difficult making predictions at the moment. All I can say for now it is going to be a 50/50 match. There are so many similarities between both clubs. Both clubs have a long tradition, a gorgeous fanbase, team- and as well fighting spirit. It's almost impossible to predict who will make it. I sincerely hope that there will be no misjudgment by ref or VAR will be part of decision at the end. I Look forward to the most fascinating EL final.

this is a final match of course it will be very difficult for us to predict who will be the champion in the Europa league which will be held on May 19, maybe we can only predict that Frankfurt will appear better than the rangers, but anything can happen in the final match because the rangers can surprise the German team, although Frankfurt are very favored to win the Europa league title this season with their impressive performances in the previous rounds but we must not underestimate the Glasgow rangers because in football anything can still happen before the referee blows the signal. end of match

The Europa League final is about to start, I'm quite excited for the Frankfurt vs Rangers match, because both teams are quite surprising to be able
to go this far. So I'm quite curious who will be the winner of the Europa League trophy this year, although many favor Frankfurt will win the match.
But I agree with your opinion, Rangers is a team that should not be underestimated. Because in the semifinals Rangers were surprisingly able to
beat Leipzig representatives from the Bundesliga, meaning Rangers are quite experienced in how they have to face teams from the Bundesliga.
Moreover, Leipzig in the Bundesliga is a team that is in the top 4, meaning that Leipzig's performance in the Bundesliga is better than Frankfurt.
So it's very possible Rangers can beat Frankfurt, so the Frankfurt vs Rangers match is honestly very difficult to predict. But I like most people still
believe that Frankfurt will win the Europa League trophy.

There are already 130,000 fans in Sevilla. Of these, 80,000 Rangers and 50,000 from Frankfurt. There are pictures on social media and they are intense. And tomorrow, most of the fans will be on their way, so 200,000 fans will make the city unsafe. The weather stay very hot and that's a small advantage for Frankfurt.

[tygeade]

Frankfurt great advantage is the fact that the Bundesligue has already ended, and due to its classification, it can devote more time to preparing for the Europa League final.
Rangers, on the other hand, had to fight to win the Scottish Premiership almost until the last round, and still have the Scottish Cup final.  Therefore, you have to make a better management of the squad.

Frankfurt have enough time to rest their players and obviously this will provide physical and mental readiness for the final, while the rangers I think need to rotate the players well, because right now their schedule is quite tight and the players only have a few days to rest .

Too much resting could be a problem as well. Anyone who has played football manager would know that there is a thing called "match sharpness" there, even if your players have 100% condition and they all feel great, they would be getting tired more quickly and would play worse during the last 10-20 minutes if they do not have match sharpness.

So, even though it would be bad for players if you have a game 2 days prior, but it would also not be great if they have a game 20 days prior for example, so they need to find a good balance. In this case they will play tomorrow, and they are not rested all that much to be fair, and I believe they will be better, with all the travel and all, it should be fine Rangers played on 14th as well, same date.

@tygeade you’re absolutely correct as too much rest will do more harm then good, but Rangers need to carefully select their player’s and I feel that they should prioritise winning the Europa League, because it will guarantee them champions league football next season. Lastly I am having a hard time picking a favourite team for this finale, because I feel that it’ll be settled only via the penalty shoot out, and so what about others have you’ll picked your favourite team already?.

Not yet, it's hard to pick a favorite between Frankfurt and Rangers. Both teams have a 50-50 chance of winning the title, Frankfurt and Rangers have almost equal strength. Positive values ​​sided with Frankfurt, because Rangers had lost in the first leg in the quarter-finals and semifinals, they managed to come back in the second leg and made it to the final round. Frankfurt certainly will not appear in the Europa next season because in the Bundesliga failed to finish in the European zone, Frankfurt's only chance to appear in Europe was to win the Europa League.

Rangers and Frankfurt are clubs that are not considered to enter the Europa League final, but both have proven, the material for both clubs is almost the same, there is no star player who shines so brightly in both clubs, I favor Frankfurt more than Rangers, because in this season they have played quite consistently, although not all the games they have played have won, but when compared to Rangers, Frankfurt is better this season

What needs to be seen is that both of them have had a very great struggle so far and also the motivation to continue to win in their struggle in the final will still be there.
So in general I would like which one of them can win because they both have fought really well to be in the Europa League final this season.

Their struggle will end in the final, Rangers and Frankfurt have proven themselves to be teams that deserve to be in the final. Whoever wins deserves it, because the struggle continues to be consistent. Rangers have performed very well so far, Frankfurt also has a fighting spirit that does not know the word give up. In the final this time there was no big team that was seeded, but these two clubs deserve to be called the best team in the Europa League stage.

Teams like this usually play carefree, because they don't target anything big, this time they have come so far on the Europa stage, just one step away from lifting the trophy this season, both Frankfurt and Rangers will surprise this season, so that they not considered as a weak club in the next season, Frankfurt have beaten the big clubs to reach the final, they have bigger chances and are very advantaged

That's right, this team will play without a burden and will be more motivated to become champions, moreover the two teams that will compete in this final have almost the same quality, of course both teams are very confident to be able to win the Europa League.
As for the advantage, I don't think there is an advantage in this match, because both of them have beaten tough opponents to be in this final, I think the chances of both teams to become champions are still the same 50-50.

I agree that both teams are very balanced, and have strengths and weaknesses.

Frankfurt is at a stage of the season with fewer important games, and that's why they can manage the squad better. But also his result in his league, shows that he is not that strong.
Rangers had more pressure in the last games, as they were fighting to win their league until the end and they still have the final of their country's cup. But it also shows that they have been doing well overall this season.

I also strongly agree they are both finalists who have equal strength, Frankfurt have managed to get rid of Barcelona and Westham, while Rangers have managed to get rid of dourtmoud and lepzing, in tonight's final it was mental and magic that would win tonight's game. , at the 1960 Frankfurt meeting had tamed Rangers in the European Cup twice, but now the players, stats and coach are different. I am optimistic that the Scottish representatives will be able to surprise, and successfully lift the European league trophy, and manage to get a ticket to the champions league next season.

In today's match, I bet Eintracht Frankfurt will win. I admit that I still do not fully appreciate the Glasgow Rangers team, despite the fact that in this edition of the cups they have already shown several times that they can win with the favorites.

I would be very happy if Frankfurt wins. Because then 8 teams from Germany will be playing internationally next season. But I do not have a favourite. I watched the second leg of Glasgow Rangers against Leipzig again. If they play like that in the final tonight, it will not be easy for Frankfurt.

[cryptofrka]

Rangers really did well this season - they reached the final from the qualifying position. It has to be said that they struggled to do so though - first they barely passed the qualifiers (1-0 on aggregate against Armenian team Alashkert) and then barely got out of the group with Sparta and Brondby.

They did shock Borussia and Leipzig though so some respect has to be given to them - but I feel that Frankfurt was a much stable team throughout the competition. After all - they are still undefeated (Rangers lost 5 games) and have faced Barcelona and West Ham in the knockouts.

I will be betting on them today - the odds are quite favorable at around 2.40.

Rangers have been very consistent in the Scotland Premiership, winning three in a row and finishing second. Rangers performances were very consistent ahead of the final, Frankfurt must be wary of Rangers who can prevent it from winning the Europa League trophy.
While Frankfurt were only able to draw with Mainz and Monchengladbach, after making West Ham eliminated from the Europa League, Frankfurt could not show good performances in the Bundesliga. Looking at the results of the last match between the two teams, Rangers are slightly above Frankfurt.

Rangers are currently the underdogs in the final match and I think Frankfurt is the favorite to get the Europa League trophy this season, Frankfurt journey to Final is definitely more difficult than Rangers, so I think Frankfurt is definitely more tested for consistency compared to Rangers, indeed Frankfurt performance is not as good as the rangers in the league but I think a good performance in the league will not guarantee a good performance also in the european league because between the european league and the domestic league have different pressures and atmospheres.

If we compare the strength of the leagues, then it is not a fact that the Rangers will be ranked higher. At the moment, the quotes are about the same:

2,35 - 3,40 - 3,15

We can say that in the main time there is no clear favorite. Frankfurt has an advantage but a slight one. The final quotes are more unambiguous:

1,69 - 2,13

Which to me is a bit illogical - if the Rangers can endure until stoppage time, then why can't they endure until the lottery (penalty shootout where everyone has a 50% chance)?

Frankfurt has never loss to a Scottish side and have have won a number of three good times on Spanish soil.
Their Austrian Coach seems to be chasing individual records by wanting too grab the title for Frankfurt after 42 good years.
As it's all about the finals, Rangers won't sit back and watch, sure thing this will be another interesting game!

Frankfurt is the favorite in this match. But don’t think the Rangers team is weak. Rangers performed well in the semi-finals and quarter-finals. The Rangers are qualifying for the final by winning the semi-final against Leipzig. Leipzig was not a weak opponent. And so, although Frankfurt is the favorite in the final, the Rangers team has the ability to win the title. I would say the Rangers will win the title if the Rangers defenders can play well.

I won't place a bet for the match today because i think that both teams have almost equal chances to win the Europa League title tonight but if i would have to pick a team i would also go for Eintracht Frankfurt. I just think that they have the slightly stronger squad. The thing is though that RB Leipzig also had the stronger squad in the semi finals against the Rangers and we all know what happened there and i think in a final the quality of a squad is even less important than in any other round because you only have one game in the final and therefore factors like luck, the shape of the day and also efficiency are way more important.

If you are not sure, you should not bet and should simply watch and enjoy the final.

For people want to bet in this final, my opinion is Frankfurt is a better team and I think they have better ability to win the final than Rangers. Leipzig is stronger than Frankfurt in Bundesliga but in a league cup like Europa League, especially in the only one match, final, each team have due diligent chance to win.

Rangers can win it too but I'd like to pick Frankfurt.
