Europa League final day – who is through and what’s at stake?

Europa League final day – who is through and what’s at stake?

A late Bruno Fernandes goal gave Manchester United a 2-1 victory against Rangers on Thursday.

That moved them up to fourth in the league table with 15 points, meaning victory at Romanian side FCSB next week will cement a top-eight finish. A draw might be enough depending on results elsewhere.

Tottenham, meanwhile, put themselves on the verge of a place in the knockouts by winning 3-2 at Hoffenheim.

They are sixth on 14 points, meaning only a win against Elfsborg will guarantee a place in the last 16.

Rangers may have suffered frustration with the late Fernandes goal, but they are still in a good place to secure at least a place in the play-off round.

They are 13th on 11 points, three ahead of Porto in 25th place – with teams who finish between ninth and 24th going through to the two-legged play-offs.

Porto are the only club who could deny them a finish in those positions but goal difference would come into play and Rangers are in a good position in that regard. The Scottish side have a +5 goal difference, while Porto are on +1.

Rangers are at home to Belgians Union Saint-Gilloise on the final day of the league phase and a point will guarantee a place in the top 24, while Porto are away to Israeli side Maccabi Tel Aviv.
