Competition focus
King of the Europa League! Sevilla equalised from behind and beat Roma on penalties to win the title. Sevilla FC have won all 7 Europa League finals and are worthy of being the king of the Europa League! They qualified for next season's Champions League.
Mu Shuai's God Law is broken! Jose Mourinho has won five European finals, but this time he failed to extend his record of 100% win rate in European finals. Jose Mourinho lost the Europa League final and the likelihood of leaving this summer has increased dramatically.
Goal hero! Dybala scored his 16th and most important goal of the season for Roma. However, due to injury, Dybala was replaced early, and Roma was eventually defeated by a counterattack, and Dybala shed tears of sadness after the game.
