Finnish national team player Glen Chamber is in a unique location on Wednesday night at the Estadio Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan Stadium in Seville. The Rangers midfielder awaits the final of the European Football League against Eintracht Frankfurt.

Kamara will become the sixth Finnish male player in the Eurofinal. Jari Litmanen and sami Hyypiä won the Champions League for many other achievements, the former in Ajax in 1995 and the latter in Liverpool in 2005. Hyypä also played in the finals in 2007.

Jari Rantanen was winning the Uefa Cup with IFK Gothenburg in 1987 and Petri Tiainen Ajax Cup Winners’ Cup the same year. Petri Pasanen represented Werder Bremen in the defeated Uefa Cup Final 2009.

Of the Finnish women, the Champions League has been winning Katriina Talaslahtiwho was the reserve goalkeeper when Lyon took the trophy in 2020.

– We’re one match away from making history, Rangers midfielder Aaron Ramsey boasted to AFP.

Efforting from Glasgow, the Rangers won the Cup Winners ’Cup in 1972. At the same time, the final place is a kind of culmination of the Rangers’ new rise, as the club went into liquidation in 2012.

This season’s Euro contract started with disappointment, as the team dropped out of the Champions League qualifiers in Malmö. In the Europa League, it advanced from its block and has cleared Borussia Dortmund, the Red Star of Belgrade, Braga and Leipzig in the playoffs.

Returning to the Scottish championship a year ago, the Rangers finished second in the league season that ended last weekend.

Frankfurt has a handsome euro season

Frankfurt, which finished 11th in the German Bundesliga, will enter the finals as a great favorite of the winner. Frankfurt, which took first place in the Uefa Cup in 1980, won its block in the Europa League this season and has made its way to the playoffs in Real Betis, Barcelona and West Ham.

Rangers has a goal cannon on the sidelines, among other things Alfredo Morelos due to thigh injury. Frankfurt is concerned, among other things Jesper Lindström hind legs.

It is estimated that around 100,000 Rangers and at least 60,000 Frankfurt supporters have arrived in Seville, raising security concerns. Not everyone is willing to fit in the match, so regulatory oversight must be effective outside the stadium as well. Police are working to keep supporters of different teams apart.

The winner will face number one in the Champions League in August at the Helsinki Supercup. Liverpool and Real Madrid will face off in the Champions League final in Paris next week.
