Reds, City in A-League Men semi stalemate (The West Australian)

Neither Adelaide United nor Melbourne City could find a breakthrough in the first leg of their A-League Men's semi-final at Coopers Stadium on Wednesday.

Adelaide searched for an opener and in the 70th minute a cross from the right by Javi Lopez found Craig Goodwin, but his tame header was easily saved by Thomas Glover. "It's just a shame there wasn't a couple of goals in it, but overall I think it was a fair result." "I thought it was a good game, I enjoyed it, hopefully the fans and the people at home watching enjoyed it," he said.

The Europa League and Europa Conference League are frankly f ... (Football365.com)

Those who drink from the Premier League Kool-Aid dismiss the second European competitions but this is where Europe is really united.

At a time of war in Europe, the Conference League and Europa League have been an illustration of the commonality of all our peoples. They are liars and they lie all the time, they’re lying now and now and now. We all need a bit of romance to counterbalance the greed and commodification culture that dominates the higher echelons. It’s a mistake to think that if you don’t get to the final or win it then it’s all been worthless. Anything that offers great breadth and opportunity for the other 95% of clubs that exist in Europe is much to be welcomed. Yet, not only is the entire Scottish pyramid tremendous entertainment, here we have a team in the final that beat the more fashionable Borussia Dortmund and RB Leipzig to get there, as ‘pub league’ teams always do, eh.

Rangers in Seville: Latest updates and news ahead of Europa ... (The Scotsman)

Rangers fans have descended on Seville ahead of the Europa League final against Eintracht Frankfurt at the Estadio Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan.

Included within that quartet is that epic night against RB Leipzig in the second leg of the semi-finals” Oliver Glasner has been in charge of Frankfurt for a year. 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. A Ferran Torres goal cancelled out Ansgar Knuaff’s opener for Frankfurt and the German side had to see out a 1-1 home-leg draw with 10 men. Japanese midfielder Daichi Kamada is also a threat, having netted nine times, including in the away victory over West Ham. Serbian midfielder Filip Kostic, who joined from Hamburg four years ago, is also deemed a key man for Frankfurt. A 90th-minute goal in Germany took the tie into extra time but Frankfurt were saved from penalties by a last-minute own goal.

How to watch Europa League final 2022 free tonight: Where to see ... (iNews)

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.
