    We asked you for some of the more unusual names in football.

    Alan, Glasgow: I own a couple of Crvena Zvezda (Red Star Belgrade) tops, and once went to see Kilmarnock vs Zeljeznicar Sarajevo. Two tough teams to pronounce.

    Metin from London: It has to be Anzhi Makhachkala, back when they were a big thing. Even when I typed this I had to google for the correct spelling ha ha.

    James, Kent: When Guylain Ndumbu Nsungu signed for Gillingham in 2006, we were certainly struggling to spit that name out!

    Sevilla progressed to the knockout stage by finishing second to Feyenoord in their group and breezed through their last-32 and last-16 games, beating Borussia Monchengladbach and Villarreal 4-2 and 5-2 respectively.

    In the quarter-finals, Sevilla faced Zenit and a 2-1 home win in the first leg proved crucial as they drew the second leg 2-2, cementing a 4-3 aggregate win.

    Fiorentina were their semi-final opponents but the Italians proved no match for Sevilla, who cruised through to the final with a 5-0 aggregate win.

    After finishing second to Inter Milan in their group, Dnipro beat Olympiacos 4-2 on aggregate in the round of 32 before edging Ajax on away goals following a 2-2 aggregate draw in the last-16, their goal in a 2-1 defeat at Ajax proving decisive.

    Next up was Club Brugge, unbeaten on their way to the quarter-finals, but after Dnipro had earned a 0-0 draw in Belgium in the first leg, Yevhen Shakhov won it for Dnipro with a goal in the return tie.

    Finally, they overcame Napoli in the semi-final as Yevhen Seleznyov earned a 1-1 draw in Italy, before the striker scored the games only goal in the second leg to seal Dnipro's place in the final.

    Dnipro have certainly been busy.

    They started 2014/15 in the third qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League, meaning they have had to play 18 matches to make it to the final.

    Sevilla have strolled through in comparison, playing just 14 matches.

    Will it be one step too far for the Ukrainians?

    Striker Yevhen Seleznyov, who scored both goals in Dnipro's 2-1 aggregate semi-final win over Napoli, has to settle for a place on the bench as he recovers from a knee injury. Fellow forward Nikola Kalinic, who played for Blackburn between 2009 and 2011, leads the attack.

    Former Arsenal forward Jose Antonio Reyes starts for Sevilla, along with five-goal top scorer Carlos Bacca, the only player to have featured in all 14 of Sevilla's games.

    Dnipro starting XI: Boyko, Douglas, Fedetskiy, Kankava, Matos, Cheberyachko, Fedorchuk, Rotan, Kalinic, Konoplyanka, Matheus. Subs: Lastuvka, Vlad, Luchkevych, Bezus, Gama, Shakhov, Seleznyov.

    Tonight's final is a bit of a nightmare for a live text commentator. Try typing FC Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk at pace...

    That got me thinking about other tongue twisters in football. What matches have you been to where you have struggled to pronounce the team names or the players?

  8. Masters v the apprenticepublished at 19:07 British Summer Time 27 May 2015

    This is very much a case of the master vs the apprentice.

    Spanish La Liga outfit Sevilla have reached three previous finals in this competition - and have won them all. Tonight's sees them go for a record fourth title.

    Ukrainian Premier League side FC Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk on the other hand are in the first ever European final.

    David v Goliath? Very much so.

    Get that party started

    Good evening and welcome to live text of the Europa League final.

    A competition that is much maligned for most of the season but, for the winners in Warsaw this evening, a Champions League place awaits.

    For the losers? Just regrets and a feeling of 'why did we bother'?

    The party has already started in Poland but only one set of fans will still carrying the celebrations on post match.

  10. It is all worth it?published at 18:44 British Summer Time 27 May 2015

    They've had to play 14 or more matches to get here, travelled thousands of miles, played on some dodgy pitches and performed in front of sparse attendances.

    Is it really worth it?

    Dnipro and Sevilla can only answer that in a few hours time.
