2019 Europa League Final Preview
Chelsea have already clinched a place in next year’s Champions League by finishing third on the Premier League table. But Arsenal — who placed fifth with 70 points, one shy of Tottenham Hotspur and two shy of the Blues — will need victory if they’re to play in Europe’s top competition a season from now.
“In this moment, we risk to have less motivation than the opponents, but probably they have more pressure on them than we do,” Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri said, according to ESPN. “So there is a positive side and a negative side in both.
“But we didn’t want to play this final for a Champions League place. As I said two months ago, we wanted the Champions League through the Premier League. Then we wanted to win a trophy. So the final is very important for us. We aren’t playing for Champions League, but we feel we deserve to win a trophy.”
Chelsea forward Olivier Giroud has scored 10 goals in the Europa League season, tying Frankfurt’s Luka Jovic atop the leaderboard. Arsenal forwards Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette are tied for third and sixth, respectively, in Europa League goals, with eight and five.
They’ve scored 50 goals combined across all competitions this season; 31 have come with both on the pitch. However, they’ve started just 25 of 61 matches alongside one another.
“The coach (Unai Emery) knows we want to play together but of course he has to make a choice and we have to respect them,” Lacazette said, according to ESPN.
“Playing with Auba is always a pleasure for me. Auba is a really good striker and the defenders find it difficult to take care of him.”
Arsenal surrendered 51 goals in the Premier League season, 12 more than any other team in the top five and the third-most among squad’s on the top half of the table, drawing criticism from media and fans.
“If at the end of the season you have made 70 points, it is for a reason,” Arsenal defender Shkodran Mustafi said, according to The Telegraph. “If you go into the game without the defense and only with attacking players I am not sure you are going to make 70 points.
“If a striker misses a goal or a penalty or whatever, you get a new opportunity five or 10 minutes later. For us defenders, if you make one mistake and they score, even if in five minutes you save something on the line, people still won’t talk about it. You get to live with it because it is part of our job.”
Arsenal midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan will not participate in the final due to political tensions between Azerbaijan and his native Armenia.
