Week 38 - 14/15 Premier League Finale / Play Off Finals / Europa Final

Every now and again football throws up wonderful, heart-warming tales – think Iraq winning the 2007 Asia Cup, Zambia being crowned African champions in 2012, Fifa suits being rounded up by the FBI this morning – and tonight Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk could add to the sport’s happy anthology. Yes, Dnipro’s a lovely story, the unheralded team from the fringes of the continent who have won no silverware of any sort for a quarter of a century but who have reached a major European final in the very season that they’ve been prevented by war from playing any ties at home. Dnipro’s odyssey has uplifted a whole nation, with the team’s defiance of daunting adversity inspiring all of Ukraine at a time of great peril. They are surely not the prettiest team to watch – their style is rooted in grit, gumption and a dollop of counter-attacking flair – but they are very much admired and victory for them tonight would be welcomed far and wide.

 
So Sevilla find themselves cast in the uncharacteristic role of spoilsports. Their city duel with Real Betis notwithstanding, Sevilla are often the ones flying the flag for the underdog, being among the clubs that have to russle up a meal from the scraps that Barcelona and Real Madrid toss to the rest of Spain. So it would be quite a feat – and another indictment of Premier League clubs – if Sevilla tonight became the first team to win this trophy four times.
