And “logic” prevailed for Sevilla, even in a season like this, in which, until the arrival of José Luis Mendilibar at the end of March, they struggled to remain in the first division. The Spanish team secured the seventh title of the Europa League by beating Roma on penalties this Wednesday.
Not even José Mourinho, until now invincible in continental finals, managed to prevent the triumph of the Spanish team, which every time it reached a final it lifted the trophy.
“It was a very tough, very competitive and tense game”, won by a Sevilla “that has more talent and solutions” than Roma, admitted after the match Mourinho who complained about the referee and highlighted that his players “can go home proud because they gave it their all.”
With all his experience, Mourinho wanted to surprise Mendilibar by fielding the recovered Dybala and with an experienced team full of international players, despite commenting on Tuesday that he played with many “boys who were in the B team last year”. .
