He played in the final but was sent off in the 82nd minute.

Chidi Odiah was one of the finest right-backs this country has ever seen at the peak of his powers. It was during that period that he helped CSKA Moscow to win the Europa League title in 2005. 

Odiah featured prominently for the top Russian side who beat the Portuguese side Sporting CP 3-1 in the 2005 final. 

He also played in the final, featuring in every minute of it. 

Mikel won tons of trophies with Chelsea, including the two major European titles; the Champions League and the Europa League. 

During his time at Chelsea, the midfielder played crucial roles in most of the finals of the titles he won. It wasn't like that with the Europa League title.

Mikel was on the bench all through the final but still got his medal. 

Moses enjoyed a lot of minutes under Benitez in his first season at Chelsea and played six games in the Europa League with four goals. 

Those four goals came in the crucial stages-the quarterfinals and the semifinals. 

He scored Chelsea's third in their 3-1 home win over Rubin Kazan in their first leg of the quarterfinals. 

He scored again in the second leg. 

He also scored in both legs against Basel in the semifinals but was not in action against Benfica in the final.
