First-Time Finalists

Both Aston Villa and Freiburg are making their first appearance in the Europa League final.

Aston Villa's previous European triumph came in the 1981-82 season when they defeated Bayern Munich 1-0 in the European Cup final in Rotterdam, thanks to a goal by Peter Withe.

The Birmingham club also won the UEFA Super Cup in 1982, defeating Barcelona 3-1, adding a second European trophy to their collection.

This will be Freiburg's first appearance in a European cup final.

Emery's Fifth Trophy

Spanish coach Unai Emery, who has won the Europa League four times and is synonymous with the cup, is on the pitch with Freiburg, aiming to set a new record as the coach with the most European cup victories.

The 54-year-old Emery, who has reached the final in the Europa League five times, won the cup with Sevilla in 2014, 2015, and 2016, and with Villarreal in 2021. He lost the final with Arsenal in 2019.

Julian Schuster, at 41, will be making his first appearance in a final and is vying for his first European trophy.
