On Wednesday, Sevilla won the Europa League after defeating Roma 4-1 on penalties in a thrilling game. With the victory in Budapest, the club’s outstanding season came to an end. Their impressive record of winning seven consecutive finals has been maintained with this triumph. A thrilling football game ended with a score of 1-1 after extra time, and neither team offered the other a chance to gain an advantage in the outcome.
After Paulo Dybala’s first goal failed to give Roma the early advantage, Gianluca Mancini’s own goal tied the score at 1-1, forcing overtime. A compelling match was about to break out as tempers were fraying. A competitive football game was cherished by football fans from all across the world. Goalkeeper Yassine Bounou, whose two saves during the penalty shootout were like gold dust on the night of the final, became Sevilla’s hero.
Jose Mourinho lost his first European Final
Gonzalo Montiel scored the game-winning penalty in the 2022 FIFA World Cup final after Roma’s Mancini and Roger Ibanez had missed their chance to score. Jose Luis Mendilibar, 62, who was in charge of the victors, accomplished a tremendous feat with it. He barely assumed control of Sevilla in March, and now the team is enjoying his first significant victory. He has done an amazing job behind the scenes considering how last-minute his arrival on this Sevilla team was.
“We are going to enjoy this because it has cost a lot and right now I don’t know if I will renew or not and I don’t care,” said Mendilibar. He also seems unsure about staying with the team for the upcoming season. By helping the team avoid relegation and elevating them to European Champions, the manager has done his duty.
“When I arrived I told the players that they were very good but that they were not mentally in the right place and that was my job,” he said. “They have shown me in the end that they are very good.” However, it wasn’t the best of times for Jose Mourinho, the manager of Roma, who had lost for the first time in a European final.
