Sevilla upsets Roma in a shootout to win the seventh Europa League championship

Posted : 01 June 2023
Jose Mourinho suffered his first loss in six European finals as Sevilla defeated AS Roma 4-1 on penalties on Wednesday to win the Europa League for a record-extending seventh time.
 
After the game ended 1-1 after extra time in Budapest, Hungary, Gonzalo Montiel converted the game-winning penalty kick to complete the shootout victory five months after scoring the winning penalty for Argentina in the World Cup final.
 
"Sevilla is a great team; we knew that," Mourinho said after the match.
 "They have the experience and good quality players that we don't have. We played a great first half, Sevilla reacted in the second half. After that, it was balanced.
 
"Over the 120 minutes, we had the best chances to win. Then penalties are penalties, you score, you save them."
 
Jose Mourinho suffered his first loss in six European championships when Sevilla defeated AS Roma 4-1 on penalties on Wednesday. This victory extended Sevilla's record of Europa League victories to seven.
 
Gonzalo Montiel won the decisive penalty kick to complete the shootout victory after the game ended 1-1 during extra time in Budapest, Hungary, five months after scoring the deciding penalty kick for Argentina in the World Cup final.
 
"I have lived a lot of moments like this and I understood that you have to be very calm to face these moments," Bounou said.

"My colleagues also gave me a lot of calm and security. It's been a year of emotions with the World Cup and now this. I always said that I'm a club worker, ready to defend Sevilla. [Manager] Jose Luis Mendilibar trusted me and I had to repay that trust."
 
Having watched their opponents score first in the previous four finals, Sevilla, the indisputable monarchs of the Europa League, have now triumphed in all seven of the competition's championship games. They are accustomed to the drama of the situation.
