This season, the Europa League final will be played in Budapest, when Roma will face Sevilla, and the two sides will definitely give their best, because winning the Europa League will not only be a matter of honour, but also whether they can get a place in the Champions League next season.
Although there are almost 12 days before the final (3 am Beijing time on June 1), Roma's tickets have been empty in the morning, I have to say, Roma is indeed a god, UEFA sees this data, will it want Roma to stay in the Europa League next season? Because of Roma and Jose Mourinho, the Europa League is no less popular than the Champions League.
It is reported that just opened the application, the enthusiasm of Rome fans can not be stopped, and now the tickets allocated to Rome have been sold out. If Roma fans want to watch the final live, they have to find another way. In fact, it is not surprising, this season's Europa League home match, Roma is almost full, now the team to the final, fans will definitely not want to miss it, because this is a historic moment for the team, they have the opportunity to win the first Europa League title in the team's history, to be able to witness with the team, it will be the most memorable moment of the fans' lives.
Although the opponent is the king of the Europa League, their team has reached the Europa League final 6 times in its history without missing a shot, but Roma is not easy to mess with, they do not have such a glorious history as Sevilla, but Roma have Jose Mourinho, he has led the team to the European final 6 times in his career, won the previous 5 times, and can win the cup for the sixth time at any time.
In addition to the blessing of Jose Mourinho, Roma also have a law that indicates that they have a chance to win the title. This season, Inter, Roma and Fiorentina reached the Champions League, Europa League and UEFA Cup finals respectively. The last time Serie A had three teams win three major European trophies, it was in the 1989-1990 season, when AC Milan (Champions League), Juventus (UEFA Cup) and Sampdoria (Cup Winners' Cup) won at the same time, creating a myth.
It is worth mentioning that in the 1989-1990 season of Serie A, the champion was Napoli. This season's Serie A, Napoli has already won the championship, and now three more Serie A teams have reached the European final, which is probably doomed. You know, Napoli's law of winning the championship has been fulfilled by the Argentine team, and history is always strikingly similar, maybe the three Serie A teams can really win all the titles.
If they beat Sevilla, Roma will not only win this season's Europa League, but they will also be seeded in the group stage of next season's Champions League. Winning a place in the Champions League may well save Roma's life. Entering the Champions League also means that Roma will have at least 54 million euros in guaranteed bonuses next season, which is likely to help them solve their financial crisis.
According to statistics, so far this season, there are 5 teams participating in the Champions League, all with prize money of 100 million euros or more, they are Manchester City, Real Madrid, Bayern, Greater Paris and Inter, of which Manchester City in the final has the highest bonus, they have now received about 127 million euros, while Inter is 100 million euros (the prize money for winning the championship is not counted).
Due to Roma's limited strength, it may be difficult for them to reach the final like Inter in the Champions League, but even if they are eliminated in the group stage, Roma's income is still very good. This season, Juve have been sluggish in the group stage and were eliminated early, but they still received 56 million euros, while Sevilla and Marseille, who were out of the group stage, also received 54 million euros.
Even if Roma cannot compare with Juve, I believe that their share of bonuses can at least be on par with teams such as Sevilla and Marseille, which means that as long as they enter the Champions League, Roma's bonus income will definitely double compared with participating in the Europa League this season (currently about 21 million euros). In fact, Roma won the Europa League, the seeded Champions League, they have a chance to avoid the group of death, when the boss is still there, he has the opportunity to lead the team to the knockout round, when Roma's prize money will easily exceed 60 million euros, if it reaches the quarter-finals, or even the semi-finals (more than 4 in 5 years), then Roma may get hundreds of millions of euros at any time.
For Roma, the next final may be the most important game in the history of the team, if not one of them. It's about whether they can solve the team's financial woes, retain Jose Mourinho and the core players in the team, in case of a loss, they may completely lose competitiveness next season, and now there is no way back for the Roma team, they can either win the title or fail completely, there is no third outcome. Here, I can only bless Mu Shuai!
