Fulham will meet Atletico Madrid in the Europa League Final, to be held on May 12 in Hamburg.
Captain Danny Murphy said:
“It just keeps getting better doesn’t it. It would have been easy to think this was the end of the journey but I thought the spirit we showed in the second half was tremendous. Look what it means to everyone, it’s amazing. We have come a long way.”
Fulham beat a number of top teams on road to the finals, the Bundesliga champions VfL Wolfsburg, Italy’s Juventus and 2009 UEFA Cup winners Shakhtar Donetsk earlier in the competition.
Fulham will face Atletico Madrid, who qualifed on away goals, after scoring a goal in extra time to win over Liverpool.
Liverpool started attacking from the word go, winning three corners inside the first two minutes. However, they lost their touch during the game, but stil managed to score through Aquiliani. Another was added by Benayoun, which proved to be insufficient to carry them forward to the next stage.
