The Europa League group stage gets underway this week, with 32 teams from across Europe hoping to progress through the tournament and into next year’s final.
Manchester United and Arsenal will take part in this year’s Europa League, and both teams have recent history in the final of UEFA’s second club competition.
United lost to Villarreal in a mammoth penalty shootout in the 2021 final, whilst Arsenal lost to London rivals Chelsea in the 2019 edition in Baku.
And Rangers agonisingly lost their final earlier this year in Seville, after being beaten by German side Eintracht Rangers on penalties following a 1-1 draw after extra time.
