Real Betis
Manuel Pellegrini's Betis has enjoyed a successful season, reaching this final and finishing sixth in La Liga. Their league standings mean that they have qualified for the Europa League next season. But first, they have the little hurdle of overcoming Chelsea in Wroclaw, Poland. Following a poor league phase in which they finished in the 15th spot, Real Betis defeated Gent in the first knockout stage. The Seville-based side then stunned Vitoria Guimaraes 6-2 on aggregate in the round of 16 and stopped Poland's Jagiellonia Bialystok 3-1 in the last eight. Last year's finalists, Fiorentina, forced extra time in Florence after Real Betis had taken a 2-1 lead in the first leg of their semi-final. A 97-minute Abde Ezzalzouli goal, assisted by standout loanee Antony, gave Betis a ticket to the Europa fiesta. Betis finished the La Liga season with three draws and one loss, claiming the sixth spot in the standings. Former Arsenal fullback Hector Ballerin will be missing in the finals as he has joined Marc Roca, Diego Llorente, and Chimy Avila on the sidelines.
Real Betis possible starting lineup:
Vietes; Sabaly, Barta, Natan, Rodriguez, Cardoso, Altimira, Antony, Isco, Fornals, Bakambu
