West Ham are daring to dream. Just 180 minutes of football separate the Hammers from reaching their first European final in 46 years, with only German side Eintracht Frankfurt standing in their way.
In the previous round, David Moyes' side dumped out Lyon, winning emphatically in their own backyard, with Craig Dawson, Declan Rice and Jarrod Bowen setting up a mouth-watering tie with the Bundesliga outfit. Whilst many Hammers fans were hoping for a glamourous tie at the Nou Camp against European greats Barcelona, it was Oliver Glasner's side who emerged victorious from the tie, winning 3-2 at the iconic Catalan stadium to send them through 4-3 on aggregate.
Winning a first European trophy in 57 years and only the second in the club’s entire history, is the big aim for David Moyes and his players, but success in the Europa League also represents their best chance of playing Champions League football in 2022-23. West Ham currently sit in seventh place, eight points behind Arsenal, who currently occupy that final Champions League spot ahead of the north London derby with Tottenham Hotspur next month.
