Aston Villa's Dibu Martínez and Buendía in Europa League final v Freiburg | OneFootball

Aston Villa, with Dibu Martínez and Emiliano Buendía, will face Germany’s Freiburg in the Europa League final.

England’s Aston Villa, which has Argentines Emiliano Dibu Martínez and Emiliano Buendía among its standout players, will go for glory this Wednesday when it takes on Germany’s Freiburg in the UEFA Europa League grand final.

The match is scheduled for 4:00 p.m. Argentina time and will be played at Tüpras Stadium in the city of Istanbul, Turkey. It will have live coverage from Noticias Argentinas and can be watched on ESPN, DAZN, and Disney+ Premium. The appointed referee is Frenchman François Letexier.

Aston Villa reached the Europa League final thanks to a 4-1 aggregate victory over England’s Nottingham Forest. The key for the “Villans” was the second leg, where they shone with a commanding 4-0 win to turn the tie around after the 1-0 defeat in the first leg.

If it wins the title, Aston Villa will claim its fourth international trophy, following the Champions League and the European Super Cup in 1982, as well as the UEFA Intertoto Cup in 2001.

“Dibu” Martínez will be looking to lift a club trophy for the fifth time in his career (he already won the FA Cup in 2017 and 2020 and the Community Shield in 2014 and 2020 with Arsenal), while Buendía has only won the EFL Championship (England’s second division) in 2019 and 2021 with Norwich City.

Freiburg, meanwhile, comes in as the big surprise of this Europa League after reaching the final by eliminating Portugal’s Sporting Braga in the semifinals with a 4-3 aggregate score. Earlier, the team coached by German manager Julian Schuster had knocked out Belgium’s Genk and Spain’s Celta de Vigo.

The winner of this title will receive a double reward, as it will qualify for the European Super Cup and the next edition of the Champions League.
