Freiburg are in their first European final but have momentum behind them after a 4-1 gubbing of RB Leipzig at the weekend secured Conference League football as a minimum for the Breisgau Brazilians. They want more. They overturned a semi-final first-leg loss to Braga to get this far as Luka Kübler's brace did the damage. Freiburg tend to rely on homegrown players and coaches, with Julian Schuster in the dugout no different and former player. All eyes will be on promising young forward Igor Matanović after his 15-goal season.
Aston Villa are seeking a first continental trophy since beating more German opposition, Bayern Munich, in the 1982 European Cup final. The Villans certainly – who guaranteed Champions League football with a win at home to Liverpool on Friday – have experience in their camp, with record four-time-winning manager Unai Emery in the dugout for his sixth final. The Birmingham club also overcame a first-leg defeat to overpower Nottingham Forest 4-1 in the semi-final second leg, with a captain's brace from John McGinn sealing the deal. Ollie Watkins has 19 goals in all competitions this season.
