Germany-born forward of Ghanaian descent Ansgar Knauff has won the 2021/22 Europa League title with Eintracht Frankfurt.

The 20-year-old was influential for Oliver Glasner's side as they defeated Rangers FC 5-4 on penalties after the tie ended 1-1 at the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán Stadium in Seville.

Knauff, who is on loan from Borussia Dortmund, played the entire duration of the game when they locked horns with the Scottish giants in the final of this season’s Europa League.

This is the first time Eintracht Frankfurt have won an European Cup competition in 42 years. Their last victory came in 1980 when they defeated rivals Borussia Mönchengladbach on away goals to win the UEFA Cup.

How Frankfurt defeated Rangers

The Gers opened the scoring via Englishman Joe Aribo in the 57th minute, before Colombian Rafael Santos Borre equalised 12 minutes later in the 69th minute.

After Welshman Aaron Ramsey had his penalty saved by man-of-the-match Kevin Trapp, Santos Borre stepped up to blast the ball past Allan McGregor and send what was a quarter of the stadium into delirium.

The cup win was Die Adler's second in the competition's history, having first done so in the 1979-80 season. The last team from Germany to win the tournament before tonight was Schalke 04 in 1997, when they defeated Inter Milan 4-1 on penalties after the two-legged final ended 1-1.
