THIS year's Europa League final will be contested by two of the world's most glamorous and successful football clubs in history - Manchester United of England, and Ajax Amsterdam from the Netherlands.

The showpiece match at the sold-out 50,000-seater Friends Arena in Stockholm on Wednesday night (Thursday, 2.45am kickoff, Singapore time) is much more than just a 90-minute fixture (or 120 minutes if extra time is needed to determine a winner).
