So to those Bundesliga watchers on here, what do we know about Freiburg?

They're not very good (by Premier League standards). They're missing their most creative player. They don't sit back, they attack and leave gaps just as Emery would want.

So 3-1 Freiburg it is.

Indeed - my fear is already rising. But, get it right and we’ll get it done.

I don't know, I'm frightening myself thinking about it. Gonna watch the Saw franchise to take my mind off it.

My only concern is it is "away" as in not at VP. We have seen what we can do at home when the crowd is up for it. But away we don't know. Plus point is when Unai does unleash Villa, we are unplayable and there is no reason why we should be on a leash in this game as very few of the starting players will be on the pitch at Citeh.

Onana back do we think? Add him to tonight's team and will we win. As long as we are not complacent.

 3 1
Watkins, Rogers, Buendia

I’ve a sneaking feeling he’ll be ok for the final for an hour.

We are better with Onana. I hope the side we pick is the absolute best we can field.

Problem is, after tonight, we're so losing this.

Ah well. We have CL at least!

We have been the best team in this competition by a distance. Time to show it in the final. Little bit worried about likes of Cash who is running on empty. Could do with Onana getting the boots on.

We have a lot of aces, Ollie back to his best, Buendia in the best form of his career, Rogers better. And we have McGinn

I think Onana will be back too.
