I saw some horrendous stat earlier today that Spanish sides have come out on top in European and International Finals 27 times out of 27 since 2002 (there were actually 4 losing Spanish club sides, but they lost to other Spanish teams).

It would be such a Chelsea thing to break that record 😎

Well there you have it ladies and gents. SF has given us not a prediction... But a spoiler of...

Fans partaking in the chair chucking competition last night !

It's still going on now with bottles! It does look like they are starting it on Chelsea, but the club will surely receive a fine.

It would be so Chelsea to make the Champions League to then get banned from it over this!

Nothing would surprise me !

yes, the bit I saw was fans in black chucking stuff at Chelsea fans. I wondered whether they might have been a Polish mob ? Dunno, but it'll be blown out of all proportion by tonight.

I thought the same re Polish, but they had Betis colour flares! But, that would also be a clever ploy if it was other fans!

You just have to register with Discovery plus to get free access to our game. Just done it myself, lots of f**king around but got there in the end.

Sorted what a pain

I don’t feel nervous in the slightest about the game tonight.

Abit strange as it’s a European cup final, it should be a massive game but it certainly doesn’t feel like it.

I’d be way more nervous if we were playing FA cup final.

But hopefully we’ll do it, it would be so so nice to complete the European trophies set!

Yeah. Only game I thought might have more of a bigger feel to it was Panithanikos and we smashed them. Everything before and since has felt like pre season Friendly's.

Hopefully the home loss to Legia will have been used as a reminder to what will happen if we show up not focused tonight.

I'm not sure how it works in this instance Andy because I already have Amazon Prime but most sources seem confident this game will be available free to air in the UK ?

According to this link you just need to register for a free account.....no subscription needed and as far as I can tell it's a one off so shouldn't require any payment details to be given.

I watched the Europa League final by just making an account on Discovery+. No need to sign up to their subscription or anything. The quality was ass though, I've had less issues with illegal streams.

Be good to be able to watch the game nice and relaxed tonight. Be great to win but won't lose any sleep if we don't.

Let's hope for an entertaining game of football and that we Batter Betis - COME ON THE CHELS!!

Cup final and I barely even remembered the game is on. Wouldn't put it past us to lose, to bring everyone down again after finishing 4th.

And of course Jackson walks back in, stupid bastards...

Badiashile and Jackson starting and RJ on the bench, hate you Maresca you terrorist

Straight off the clubs website, so yeah that's it.

Bloody Gusto,the manager is criminal

Surprised KDH didn’t get a start for his rewards for all the rounds he’s played in. I guess the manager is taking this seriously.

James and Colwill on the bench? Taking the f**king piss.

Would have liked to have seen James and Colwill start but that’s a decent line up. I was expecting B team.

Ive never been a big fan to put it mildly, but i would like to see KDH get some game time hes contributed to this campaign and to my knowledge never complains about lack of minutes just gets on with it.

Ffs talk about lift the betis team

Badiashile?! Can't wait to see how this turns out...
