The match is scheduled for 4 p.m. (Argentina time) and will be played at Tüpraş 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 win over England’s Nottingham Forest. The key for the “Villans” came in the second leg, where they shined with a commanding 4-0 victory to turn the tie around after losing 1-0 in the first leg.

If they win the title, Aston Villa will claim their fourth international trophy, following the 1982 Champions League and European Super Cup, as well as the 2001 UEFA Intertoto Cup.

“Dibu” Martínez will be looking to lift a club trophy for the fifth time in his career (he already won the 2017 and 2020 FA Cup and the 2014 and 2020 Community Shield 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 Julian Schuster had knocked out Belgium’s Genk and Spain’s Celta de Vigo.

The winner of this title will earn a double reward, as they will qualify for the European Super Cup and next season’s Champions League.
