Sevilla won their seventh Europa League title as they beat Roma in a penalty shootout in the final at the Puskas Arena in Budapest on Wednesday.
It was a case of the manager who has never lost a final before and the team who have never lost the UEFA Cup/Europa final. But a winner must emerged at Budapest and Sevilla did after the dramatic penalty shootout.
Sevilla victory over Jose Mourinho’s Roma was their significant 7th, it was a keenly contested match and final.
The La Liga side has never lost a UEFA Cup/Europa League final, and despite Mourinho’s own impressive European final record, the unassuming Jose Luis Mendilibar edged out his old rival
The returning Paulo Dybala smartly fired Roma into a first-half lead, and the game had a feel like one goal could decide it, similar to Roma’s triumph in last season’s Conference League final.
But Gianluca Mancini’s own goal handed Sevilla a route back into the contest after the break as both sides settled in for a battle.
