Freiburg are classed as home and play in Red so white kits for us for the final.

I know its not really important  that much but shouldnt we deemed the home team based on being the top side in group phase

Wish we were playing in our home top

It was based on which bracket we were drawn in. Upper/Left bracket gets nominal home (and in theory was Lyon who finished above us but that was coincidental) and Lower/Right bracket was away.

But white kits in a European Final is currently 100% record. We might even do a "special" for the final to be closer to the 82 one as adidas already have the design for the "street" collection.

Good shout - given the aggressive commercial push with clothing ranges this season, a new kit for the final is almost a certainty, I'd imagine.

Crikey decent for the Europa League. I wonder how ill that compares with last 16 or reaching the QF of the Champions League.

Last night was ace but let’s finish the job. We are big favourites but we all need to see that trophy lifted. We cannot have any overconfidence. Can’t make mistakes. Hopefully all of the key players are fit for the game.

In Europa they have won all their home matches but only won 2 away. One was Celta in the knockout phase when they were 3-0 up going into it so hit them on the break, and one was Nice in the league phase.

Biggest win was against Genk in the knockout 5-1 where they had 8 shots with 6 on target. But were handed two goals from mistakes at the back and scored the last two on the break.
