Rudi García’s Olympique Marseille side travel to the Groupama Stadium to face Diego Simeone’s Atletico Madrid in Wednesday evening’s Europa League final.
Atleti are big favourites to come out on top given they’ve won the competition twice in the last eight years and boast a considerably stronger squad. Marseille, however, have lost two finals and will match the record for most defeats in the final (3 – Benfica) if they fall short again.
Benfica
- 1982/83: Anderlecht 1-0 Benfica, Anderlecht 1-1 Benfica
- 2012/13: Chelsea 2-1 Benfica
- 2013/14: Sevilla 0-0 Benfica
Marseille
- 1998/99: Parma 3-0 Marseille
- 2003/04: Valencia 2-0 Marseille
Marseille’s Europa League campaign started with two qualifying rounds against KV Oostende (4-2 agg) and NK Domzale (4-1 agg) before they were drawn with Konyaspor, RB Salzburg and Vitoria in the group stage.
