Rangers will look to secure a historic achievement tonight when they play Eintracht Frankfurt in the Europa League final. We' ...

But I played in a World Cup final, played extra time in the World Cup final and lost it. Rangers regained their form in time for the second leg and Tavernier hit a double and the visitors had a man sent off before the interval. The Light Blues sent out another statement with a 3-0 Ibrox win over the Serbian champions thanks to another Tavernier penalty plus goals from Morelos and Balogun. Red Star had three goals disallowed for offside, hit the bar and were thwarted by an Allan McGregor penalty save so the tie was far from over and the Gers goalkeeper needed to be at his best in Serbia. But Ryan Kent netted on the counter to make it 1-1 and a late penalty for the hosts proved irrelevant. Gers fans enjoyed one of their greatest European trips as the tournament favourites were stunned in Germany. The visitors were three up inside 49 minutes thanks to James Tavernier’s penalty, a Morelos tap-in and Lundstram’s curler, and an own goal helped Rangers to a 4-2 win. There were early signs that Giovanni Van Bronckhorst had the Midas touch in Europe when he led his new team into the knockout stages with a 2-0 win over Sparta in his first match in charge. Manager Steven Gerrard missed the trip along with a number of players after Rangers reported positive Covid tests.

The 42-year-old Slovenian is to take charge of Wednesday's Europa League final at Seville's Estadio Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán.

His previous biggest Europa League assignment was the first leg of Arsenal and Villarreal’s semi-final tie in 2020/21. However, he was released without charge after being cleared of any wrongdoing. Added to FIFA’s list of international referees in 2010, the 42-year-old has refereed 20 games in the Europa League since making his debut in the continent’s second-tier club tournament in 2014.

“We want to put a legacy down for the day we retire,” he said. Rangers managing director Stewart Robertson urged the club’s fans to behave and enjoy the occasion “in the right way, the right manner” while manager Giovanni Van Bronckhorst added: “Is not often that we are able to reach a European final, so we have to enjoy this moment and make sure we don’t cause any trouble.” “It’s going to be a unique gathering of the most vocal and enthusiastic fans in Europe.”

It's the first European trophy of the season and our experts see a tight affair.

In the end the talent of players such as Kostic and Kevin Trapp in goal might just tell for Frankfurt, 2-1 winners on the night. Man of the Match pick: Kostic has looked a cut above the field so far in the Europa League and there is no reason to doubt that will continue on Wednesday night. One matchup to watch: The Frankfurt left and Rangers right promises to be a fascinating clash, containing as it does two of these teams' most dangerous attacking threats. We take a look at some of the main prematch storylines to keep an eye on and our experts weigh in with their predictions. Translate those stats to per 90 minutes and he is in the top 30 in a host of creative and scoring categories as well as ball recoveries. On the 50th anniversary of their Cup Winners' Cup triumph, Rangers are bidding to become the first Scottish team ever to win this tournament.

After defeating the likes of Borussia Dortmund and a memorable semi-final second leg win over RB Leipzig, many Rangers fans will be hoping their side can put away a third German side on route to lifting the Europa League title. Rangers fans will be heading to Seville with plenty of expectation, and they have every right to be confident based on their battling performances in Europe this season. Don't be surprised if Tavernier popped up with a timely goal in the final. The Serbian international is adept defensively and loves to bomb forward at every opportunity and could be a crucial offensive outlet should Frankfurt go all the way. Frankfurt head into the contest in southern Spain with an impressive run to the showpiece final, and has not tasted defeat. As ever, you will be able to keep up with all of the action via beIN SPORTS.

150000 football fans are expected to descend on Seville as Scottish giant Rangers seek their first European title in 50 years.

Prior to reaching the final this term, their best run since winning silverware in 1980 was in 2019 when they reached the semi-final of the Europa League before losing to Chelsea. Their only appearance in the European Cup final brought a 7-3 defeat against Real Madrid at Hampden in 1960. They have just finished 11th in the 18-team Bundesliga and did not win any of their closing eight league matches, a run stretching back to mid-March. They drew their final game 2-2 away to Mainz on Sunday. They have been a different animal in Europe, however, with Real Betis, Barcelona and West Ham their three most recent conquests in reaching the final. Rangers have received a major boost with news that Kemar Roofe has been passed fit for the final. We have to put in a good performance and make them proud.” Victory in Seville would also propel them into next season’s Champions League for the first time since the 2010-11 season.

Filip Kostic and Ansgar Knauff will likely be two of Eintracht Frankfurt's biggest threats in the Europa League final against Rangers.

Before Knauff’s arrival, Eintracht were rather lopsided, with their other options on the right far from convincing. Then he joined Eintracht on loan and has since scored important Europa League goals against Barcelona and West Ham. This season, he has been the executor of 519 crosses and corners, 140 more than any other player in the top five leagues – Trent Alexander-Arnold is second with 379. A cursory glance at his map of open-play chances created proves that point. Another way of looking at it is, he is producing one accurate open-play cross every 45.4 minutes. Kostic’s 78 successful crosses from open play is also a season-high.

Eintracht Frankfurt won their first European title in 42 years by beating Rangers in a penalty shootout in Wednesday's UEFA Europa League final in Seville.

Frankfurt looked like the more likely side to get a winner in 90 minutes, but extra time was a fairly tight and tense affair. Rangers had more of the ball in the first half, but Frankfurt posed the stronger threat. Eintracht Frankfurt won their first European title in 42 years by beating Rangers in Wednesday's UEFA Europa League final in Seville.

It's hard to reflect straight away. Midfielder Steven Davis added: "It's huge disappointment. I'm absolutely devastated. A sensational save from Frankfurt goalkeeper Kevin Trapp at point-blank range from Ryan Kent in the final moments of extra-time will undoubtedly be seared into the minds of Rangers fans as the Scottish side came so close to winning late on Having suffered a second defeat at the competition's final hurdle after a loss to Zenit St Petersburg in 2008, it may take a while for wounds to heal for Rangers. And having suffered the agony of a semifinal penalty shootout defeat to eventual winners Chelsea in 2019, the manner of victory could not have been sweeter for the traveling Frankfurt fans who -- donning the colors of their club's match shirt -- formed a raucous white wall behind the goal.

2 hours to KO: Hello and welcome to tonight's live coverage of the Europa League final. 6th min: A dangerous high boot from Lundstram catches captain Rode in the head, who is bleeding and now has his head bandaged up. A pass into the middle looked to be the better option. "I wouldn't be here if it weren't for the team and the boss. 44th min: Tavernier is lucky to avoid a yellow card after tugging the shirt of his opponent having being caught in possession. Which players are going to be the heroes tonight? 94th min: Arfield has the first real chance in extra-time but fails to keep his shot on target from distance. The corner is wasted but Rangers are under some early pressure. A VAR check follows and the decision stands but Goldson was a tad fortunate there. 120th min: Tavernier has one final effort from a free-kick but Trapp is there again and that's that. 4th pens: Ramsey, brought on moments ago to take the spot-kick, MISSES. His shot straight down the middle is saved. 5th pens: Roofe has better luck and scores, in off the post.

He will not be the only star of this side who will be catching the eye of wealthier rivals; smart recruiters will see the likes of Kent, Glen Kamara and Aribo as prime talents who can be secured at a relatively knockdown price. Kemar Roofe, thrown on with penalties in mind, chased a long ball to the byline and crossed low. Ramsey struck his effort firmly enough down the middle, slightly higher and there would have been no chance for the German international. Five more minutes of extra time and Rangers might have won it, Tavernier drawing another late save with a free kick slowly bending into the top corner. The stalemate was only going to be torn apart by a mistake. Football is won on the balance sheets in 2022 and frankly Rangers, a great white shark in a garden pond, should not be able to compete. What followed, however, was perhaps the spell of European final worthy quality that one team in its entirety produced. So did the Rangers forward, who had run himself to the ground chasing long balls into the channel or dropping into midfield. If clubs such as Rangers were going to be lifting continental trophies in May they would have to do it in the newly created Europa Conference League. Not quite. They weren't cutting through the defense but then you wondered if that might have been Giovanni van Bronckhorst's plan all along; wear them down and trust that Frankfurt bodies and minds would tire in the pressure cooker heat. On another night this Rangers team would have been worthy winners, a team who had got to Seville the hard way, two of the competition's biggest powers sent home from Ibrox baffled as to how they had been outclassed by Scotland's second best team. Of its last 13 winners, 12 have come from the Premier League, La Liga and now, with Eintracht Frankfurt's name etched on the trophy, the Bundesliga. Since Rangers were last in the final back in 2008 only two teams from outside Europe's top six leagues have been beaten in the final, Ukrainian side Dnipro and Ajax.

When Glasgow Rangers and Eintracht Frankfurt headed to Spain for the Europa League final, tens of thousands of their fans followed.

That prospect drew fans, by the tens of thousands, to what Police Scotland believed was to be the “biggest gathering” that tranquil, convivial Seville had ever seen. The fans knew that might happen, of course. Only last season was it restored to the pinnacle of Scottish soccer, depriving its bitter rival Celtic of the country’s title for the first time in 10 years. Less than a decade ago, Rangers was reduced to playing in Scotland’s semiprofessional fourth tier as a punishment for years of financial mismanagement and chicanery. Some 50,000 fans were making their way to Seville, Spain, in the midst of a blistering spring heat wave, from Germany. Twice that number were traveling from Scotland. Those who could not make it directly got as close as possible — to Malaga, 150 miles south, or to Faro, across the border in Portugal — and continued their journey however they could.

El colombiano Rafael Santos Borré marcó y contribuyó al título de Eintracht de Frankfurt en la Europa League ante el Rangers de Escocia.

El Rangers esperaba ganar su primera conquista europea en 50 años, tras alzarse con la extinta Recopa de Europa en 1972. En el segundo, al minuto 117 del encuentro, el arquero Kevin Trapp del Frankfurt evitó la caída de su arco al sacar con la pierna una opción clarísima de gol. El colombiano Rafael Santos Borré pateó el quinto y decisivo penal para ganar el título.

Eintracht Frankfurt definió desde los once pasos su segundo título de UEFA Europa League en toda su historia ante Rangers tras haber quedado 1-1 en los 120 ...

Por el lado de Rangers, el veterano Aaron Ramsey fue quien falló el único penal del conjunto escocés. No vista anteriormente y no pensada ni por el más astuto de las casas de apuestas. Mientras Rangers es el máximo ejemplo de lucha y superación; un equipo que hace 10 años estaba en bancarrota y que había descendido hasta la cuarta división del futbol de Escocia.

Así quedó la tabla histórica de títulos en el marco de la UEFA Europa League luego de la coronación de Eintracht Frankfurt.

Allí, la escuadra alemana fue más efectiva y festejó a lo grande. De hecho, fue empate 1-1, lo que derivó en la definición por penales. Así fue como se ganaron un merecido lugar en la instancia decisiva de la Europa League.

Eintracht Frankfurt won 5-4 in penalties over Rangers F.C. for their first European trophy since 1980.

Ryan Kent had a huge chance with a mostly open net, but Trapp, who previously played for Paris Saint-Germain in France, denied the shot with a ridiculous save. Rangers forward Joe Aribo opened the scoring after two straight defensive errors from Frankfurt. Aribo, while falling, finished past Frankfurt goalkeeper Kevin Trapp to take a 1-0 lead. The game was scoreless at halftime, with Frankfurt left midfielder Filip Kostic having one of the best opportunities for the first goal.

En la Libertadores 2018 también tuvo un papel capital, como en la Europa League 2022. Rafael Santos Borré (Barranquilla, 15-9-1995) aterrizó en el Atlético en 2015 con el cartel de joven promesa." El ex de Atlético y Villarreal estaba tremendamente emocionado. En la 2016-17 salió, también a préstamo, al Villarreal. Con el 'Submarino Amarillo' jugó 30 partidos, marcó cuatro goles y repartió dos asistencias. "Es algo muy lindo. Diogo Jota y Santos Borré. El Atlético los presentó juntos. Santos Borré tomaba el testigo de Radamel Falcao (Oporto y Atlético / 2011 y 2012) y Carlos Bacca (Sevilla / 2015) para convertirse en el tercer colombiano que marca en una final de la Europa League. El atacante colombiano ha registrado 12 dianas, ocho en Liga y cuatro en el Viejo Continente. Se ha quedado lejos de los 28 tantos que anotó André Silva en la pasada Bundesliga. Sin embargo, sus goles han sido cruciales en el éxito del Eintracht. En la fase del 'K.O.' de la Europa League ha ido a más: marcó un golazo en la vuelta contra el Barcelona, anotó en la ida y en la vuelta frente al West Ham y marcó en la final frente al Rangers, además de anotar el penalti que permitió a su equipo volver a 'reinar' en Europa ¡¡¡42 años después!!! Su carrera, sin embargo, se tornó en un permanente ida y vuelta.El héroe del Eintracht Frankfurt en la final de la Europa League -marcó el 1-1 frente al Rangers y anotó el penalti decisivo- no llegó a debutar en partido oficial con el Atlético. Nada más llegar se volvió cedido al Deportivo Cali. Rafael Santos Borré: de descarte en el Atlético a 'superhéroe' en la Europa League Nunca jugaron un partido oficial con el Atlético. El portugués estará en la final de la Champions. El colombiano acaba de ganar la Europa League. Cosas...pic.twitter.com/0LIA8Bn3xz Nadie ha sabido sacar tanto partido a Santos Borré como Marcelo Gallardo. El atacante colombiano marcó 56 goles y registró 20 asistencias en 149 encuentros a su paso por El Monumental. Con River lo ganó (casi) todo: una Libertadores (2018), una Recopa Sudamericana (2019), dos Copas Argentina (2017 y 2019) y dos Supercopas Argentinas (2017 y 2019).
