Sevilla won the UEFA Europa League for the seventh time on Wednesday as they beat Jose Mourinho’s Roma 4-2 on penalties after the game ended 1-1 after 90 minutes and extra time. And it was Gonzalo Montiel who had the honor of scoring the winning penalty as he did for Argentina at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
The Spanish side’s record against Italian teams read won nine games of their 13 encounters with the last one against Inter. They were the favourite against Roma, who were vying for their first Europa title since 1991.
The Portuguese manager was determined to break Sevilla’s Europa reign, and he fielded a 3-4-2-1 formation against the Spanish side under Jose Etxebarria, who started with a 4-2-3-1 formation.
