Arsenal Criticizes Selection of Baku as Europa League Final Host

This is Arsenal's first European final in 13 years, and the London club seeks to win its first continental trophy since the 1994 Cup Winners' Cup.

Baku also bid to host this season's Champions League final, but missed out to Madrid.

Arsenal has previously raised concerns about its Armenian midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan's ability to enter Azerbaijan for the game, given long-running political tension between Armenia and Azerbaijan.

Rahimov said on Wednesday that Mkhitaryan could play in Azerbaijan.
