Aston Villa are looking to lift their first major trophy in 30 years when they face Freiburg in the Europa League final on Wednesday evening.
The Villans make the trip to Istanbul in a buoyant mood after last Friday’s 4-2 victory over Liverpool secured their place in next season’s Champions League.
Aston Villa boast, arguably, the best man in the dugout in their bid for silverware as Unai Emery has won the Europa League on four previous occasions.
Emery is hoping that Victor Lindelof will be fit to feature after being forced off at halftime against Liverpool. The ex-Man United ace has been starting in midfield in recent weeks amid Amadou Onana and Boubacar Kamara’s absences.
Freiburg are chasing history themselves and head to Istanbul in search of a maiden European title in their first continental final.
Not only that, the German club need to win the Europa League to qualify for the Champions League after finishing seventh in the Bundesliga. Julian Schuster’s side rounded off their league campaign by smashing RB Leipzig 4-1 on Saturday.
Radio Times has rounded up everything you need to know about how to watch Freiburg v Aston Villa on TV and online.
