Sevilla, from Spain, the most winning team of the competition, and with five Argentines in its squad, will face Roma, from Italy, which has the Cordovan Paulo Dybala, although he is with a physical problem, in the final of the 14th edition of the Europa League.
The match will be played from 16 (Argentina time) at the Puskas Arena stadium in Budapest, will be refereed by Englishman Anthony Taylor and televised by ESPN and the Star + platform.
In case of a tie after 90 minutes, 30 additional matches will be played and, if equality persists, the champion will be defined in a series of penalties.
Europe's second-largest club tournament will enshrine a new champion in Budapest, succeeding Germany's Eintracht Frankfurt, who were crowned last year.
The winner of the final, in addition to adding a trophy to their showcases, will qualify for the next edition of the Champions League.
In Seville will start the Argentine Lucas Ocampos and among the substitutes will be his compatriots Gonzalo Montiel, Erik Lamela and Alejandro 'Papu' Gómez, while the Neuquén Marcos Acuña will miss the final for being suspended for accumulation of warnings.
At Roma, Dybala is in doubt because of an ankle injury, although because it is a final and being one of the favorite players of the team's coach, Portuguese Jose Mourinho, it is likely that he will occupy a place among the substitutes.
Sevilla intends to maintain its hegemony in the Europa League that it won six times, two of them (2006 and 2007) as UEFA Cup and four (2014, 2015, 2016 and 2020) with the current name that has been in force since 2009.
On the Roma side, a win in Budapest would allow Portuguese Mourinho to be the first coach to win this competition with three different teams, the former Porto of Portugal (2003) and Manchester United English (2017).
