Ajax :
Ajax Amsterdam have played an outstanding season with an extremely young team. For the very big litter it was not enough in the Dutch Eredivisie yet and Ajax had to settle for the 2nd table place. It was very close to the end and the Dutch champions Feyenoord were only 1 point behind. The decisive factor in this regard was the narrow 1: 0 defeat at the 32nd game at PSV Eindhoven. In the last two league games the team of coach Peter Bosz then gained self-confidence again and celebrated two clear victories in the Dutch league. In the Europa League Ajax Amsterdam was one of the big positive surprises.
Ajax Amsterdam played first against the FC Schalke 04 in the quarter-finals and enjoyed a particularly strong performance in the home game as they were able to get through 2 goals from captain Davy Klaasen 2-0. In the return to Gelsenkirchen the supporters of Ajax had to tremble once again, because the team still had to extend. There, Ajax Amsterdam fought back again, so the return was lost with 3: 2, but the entry into the semifinals still managed. Here, the team of coach Peter Bosz Olympique Lyon first in their own stadium, inter alia by 2 hits by Bertrand Traore 4: 1. In Lyon, Ajax were the first to take a 1-0 lead from Kasper Dolberg, but got more and more under pressure during the match and had to be beaten 3-1 at the end of the return. In aggregation, however, it was enough for Ajax Amsterdam, which was able to make their entry into the final match perfect because of the even clearer home success.
The coach Peter Bosz has formed an outstanding team from an extremely young team this season, which has made a lot of positive headlines, especially at European level. On Wednesday in the final in Stockholm, the coach with Nick Viergever will have to give up an important player in the Abwehrverbund because of his yellow-red card.
Provisional lineup: Onana; Riedewald, de Ligt, Sanchez, Veltmann; Ziyech, Beautiful, Klaassen; Younes, Dolberg, Traore
Manchester United:
The English club Manchester United could not really convince this season in the domestic Premiere League over long distances. This is certainly a circumstance that Portugal’s coach Jose Mourinho would not have liked at all. Last Sunday, Man United had to face the league against Crystal Palace in a home game, but the team missed a lot of regular players with a view to the final in the Europa League. In the end, however, Manchester United were able to get through with a 2-0 win at the end of the match, which did not change the fact that Manchester United finished the season on a weak 6th place. In the Europa League, however, Man United managed to reach the finals, leaving the Spanish representative Celta Vigo out of the way in the semifinals. Manchester United scored a 1-0 victory in the Galician midfielder, with a goal scored by Marcus Rashford. In return, the team from coach Mourinho was still hard enough, but in the end they managed to get the ticket for Stockholm through a 1-1 draw.
Jose Mourinho has already spared numerous players in the past matches in the Premiere League with a view to the so important final in Stockholm. However, the Portuguese has to do without Eric Bailly, who is now blocked because of a red card in the semi-final. Ashley Young, Luke Shaw and, above all, the Swedish attacker Zlatan Ibrahimovic will also be missing due to injuries.
Provisional lineup: Romero; Valencia, Blind, Jones, Darmian; Pogba, Carrick, Herrera, Mkhitaryan; Lingard; Rashford
