Sevilla Edge Mourinho’s Roma To Europa League Title

Sevilla won their seventh UEFA Europa League trophy after beating AS Roma in a penalty shootout to win Wednesday’s final in Budapest.

The Spanish club overcame Roma on penalties following a thrilling 1-1 draw at the Puskas Arena.

The Seville-based side won a record-extending seventh Europa League crown, maintaining a record of not losing in the final of the competition.

Paulo Dybala scored for Roma before an own-goal gave Sevilla a lifeline they used to perfection in the shootout.

The game went into extra time where both sides could not find a winner and had to settle for a penalty shootout.

Yaccine Bounou, the goalkeeper who was a key part of Morocco’s semi-final run at the 2022 FIFA World Cup, proved the hero again with two saves in the shootout to help Sevilla to clinch the title.

Roma’s loss is Jose Mourinho’s first in a major European final, while Sevilla have defeated an Italian side in consecutive Europa League finals to claim the trophy.
