Middlesbrough legend Juninho has wished the club good luck for next week's Championship playoff final against Norwich City.

The Brazilian posted a video on his Facebook page congratulating Boro on beating Brentford in the semi-finals to reach Wembley.

"I'm so happy. One more game until Middlesbrough is back to the place it belongs," said the 42-year-old, who had three spells at the club and won the League Cup in 2004.

"I wish everyone good luck, the players, club staff and [manager] Aitor Karanka, who's doing a great job."
