Rangers’ key players include defenders Leon Balogun and Calvin Bassey, as well as versatile midfielder Joe Aribo.

However, because of his strong bond with Die Adler, Okocha is rooting for them to win the trophy.

“To see Frankfurt in the final means the world – I am an Eintracht fan and I know how important it is for the fans because they have waited so long to be able to witness this magic game,” Okocha told Bundesliga.com.

I’m so happy for the club, the players, the fans and hopefully, they will do us the favour of winning the final!”

Despite his desire for his former club to win their first European title since 1980, Okocha believes Rangers will be a difficult nut for the Germans to crack.

As per media reports, Kylian Mbappé joined Real Madrid from Paris Saint-Germain on a free transfer. “.. I wanted to announce to you all that it’s my last year at Paris Saint-Germain. I will not extend and the adventure will come to an end in a few weeks. I will play my last game as Parc des Princes on Sunday,” Mbappe said in a video statement on X.

“It’s a lot of emotions. (For) many years I had the chance and great honour to be a member of the biggest French club, one of the best in the world which allowed me to travel here,” Mbappe added.

“It’s hard and I never thought it would be this difficult to announce that I will leave the country, France, the league and the Championship. But I think, I needed this, a new challenge after seven years.”
