Match stats
- This will be the third major European final held in Seville. Steaua Bucuresti beat Barcelona on penalties in the 1986 European Cup at Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan and Porto defeated Celtic in the 2003 Uefa Cup at Estadio La Cartuja.
- This is Eintracht's third European final. They lost in the 1960 European Cup against Real Madrid at Hampden before beating Borussia Monchengladbach to lift the 1980 Uefa Cup.
- Rangers are the first Scottish club to reach a final since they did so themselves in the Uefa Cup in 2008. They have now reached five finals, which is as many as every other Scottish side combined.
- These sides have played each other twice, with Eintracht winning the 1960 European Cup semi-final 12-4 on aggregate.
- Rangers lost their first two Europa League group games this season against Lyon and Sparta Prague without scoring. They have become the first team in competition history to reach the final after doing so.
- Eintracht are unbeaten in the Europa League this season, and could become only the third side to win the competition without being losing a game, after Chelsea in 2018-19 and Villarreal in 2020-21.
- Rangers have already eliminated two German clubs in Borussia Dortmund and RB Leipzig. Should they lift the trophy, they will become the first team to eliminate three clubs from a single nation in one season.
- Rangers have played 14 matches in Spain and have won only once (D3 L10). That was the only other time they have played as a neutral side, defeating Dinamo Moscow in the 1972 Cup Winners' Cup final. Eintracht have played six matches in Spain and are unbeaten in their last five.
- Van Bronckhorst could become the first Dutch manager to claim the trophy since Dick Advocaat, whose Zenit St Petersburg side beat Rangers in 2008.
- Right-back James Tavernier is the top scorer in the competition, with his seven goals the most ever by a Rangers player in a single European campaign. Daichi Kamada is Eintracht's top scorer in with five.
