Your support makes all the difference.Sevilla are the Europa League champions. It’s a familiar phrase as the Spanish side lifted the trophy for a record-extending seventh time after defeating Roma via a penalty shootout in Budapest.
The champions were second best in the first half. They started slow and sluggish as Roma dictated the tempo of the game. Jose Mourinho risked starting Paulo Dybala up front for the Serie A team and was rewarded with the opening goal as Dybala slotted home from the left side of the box.
Roma then sat back as the second half began with Sevilla gaining the upperhand. Luck played a big part in the equaliser despite the more positive play from Jose Luis Mendiliar’s men. Jesus Navas whipped the ball in from the right and it deflected off Gianluca Mancini to bring the game level.
There it remained through extra-time before the final went to a penalty shootout. Roma squandered their spot kick and Gonzalo Montiel guided home the winning kick to earn Sevilla their seventh Europa League victory.

Gonzalo Montiel the penalty hero again as Sevilla win seventh Europa League title
Gonzalo Montiel was the penalty hero once more as Sevilla made it a magnificent seven in the Europa League and handed Roma boss Jose Mourinho his first defeat in a European final.
Mourinho was on track to become the most decorated European manager in history with six trophies when Paulo Dybala defied an ankle injury he has been carrying for the last month to put the Serie A side in front in a scrappy affair in Budapest.
Gianluca Mancini, who had provided the assist for Dybala, put into his own net as the game finished 1-1 after 120 minutes then missed from the spot, as did Roger Ibanez, before Montiel scored the decisive penalty to secure a 4-1 shootout win for the Spaniards.
