Coverage of the final, which takes place at Besiktas Stadium in Istanbul, Turkiye. After coming out on top in an all-English semi-final when they beat Nottingham Forest 4-1, Villa go in search of their first silverware since winning the Coca-Cola Cup in 1995/96, and a first European trophy since lifting the 1981/82 European Cup. Standing in their way is a Bundesliga club that has never won a major trophy and are appearing in a cup final of any description for just the second time in their history, after previously losing the 2021/22 DFB Pokal final to RB Leipzig on a penalty shootout.
