The teams, who boast the competition’s individual joint top goal scorers in Tammy Abraham and Cyriel Dessers, will be battling for European silverware and an automatic place in the 2022/23 UECL group stages.
Next up is the much anticipated UEFA Champions League (UCL) final, broadcast live from Paris’s Stade de France on Saturday, 28 May.
