"The Europa League final was the final of the ordinary, the predictable. Aston Villa would have been the overwhelming favorite against any team in the competition, so a team that finished 7th in the Bundesliga, which in its entire history had never gone past the Europa League round of 16, was, of course, just a sparring partner for the team from Birmingham. The final began with a gesture of courtesy from the French referee Letexier towards the weaker team. Defender Ginter was battling with striker Watkins, the Englishman broke free towards the goal, but the Frenchman decided to delay the inevitable. And as expected, it all happened before halftime. Rogers, the star who exploded this season at Villa, perfectly set up the ball for Tielemans' volley. And the Belgian reminds us how years ago he decided another final with a long-range shot, for Leicester then, against Chelsea." Mihai Mironică writes, on We Love Sport, the chronicle of the Europa League final, SC Freiburg - Aston Villa 0-3.
