2017 Europa League Final, Real Madrid signs Brazilian phenom, & more: Freedom Kicks for May 24, 2017

Happy Wednesday folks. It’s a big day for soccer, so let’s get right to the main course:

It’s the Europa League final (2:45pm, FS1), with Manchester United hoping to win for all of Manchester after the terrible tragedy that took place Monday night, while Ajax hopes to win its first European trophy since 1995. Who will win the crown in Stockholm?

Real Madrid win the race to sign Brazilian youngster Vinicius Junior, with $50 million being the money needed to secure his rights. He will join the team in 2019 and remain for now with Flamengo in the Brasileiro.
