 Duel ekipa koje nisu tokom sezone blistale ali su pokazali zavidan kvalitet u završnici pa je tako Atletiko uspeo da osvoji Ligu Evrope odnosno s druge strane Sevilja je uspela da se plasira na zacrtano 4-to mesto .
Atletiko je ove sezone u potpunosti zanemario prvenstvo i u potpunosti se posvetio kupovima koji mu očigledno idu od noge i u glavnim mečevima ekipa je pokazala dozu drskosti koja im je donela tako važan trofej u evropi a na pragu su i drugog .
 Sevilja nije blistala tokom sezone ali su u zadnjim mečevima pokazali da imaju kvalitet za Ligu Šampiona .
Meč dve veoma efikasne ekipe koje su prebrinule problem oko Evrope ( Atletiko to zaradio osvajanjem Lige Evrope ) tako da u ovom meču mogu jurišati na trofej bez zadrške što bi trebalo da nam donese efikasan meč pa ću u skladu s tim položiti opklade i to dve kao osnovnu obe ekipe daju gol  GG i kao drugu više od tri gola 3+ .
