The biggest law of football! The king of the Europa League also dominates, winning seven consecutive finals, breaking the manager's supernatural record
After beating Roma on penalties, Sevilla won the 2022-23 Europa League, extending the record of winning all Europa League finals to seven games, once again proving their status as the kings of the Europa League.
Dybala opened the scoring for Roma before Keylor Navas's cross led to Mancini's own goal. The two teams drew 1-1 within 120 minutes and the game went to a penalty shootout. In the penalty shootout, Roberto Mancini, the second to play for Roma, was blocked by Bonu, and Ibanez's penalty hit the post.
Real Sevilla Cup
Compared to Real Madrid, the king of the Champions League, Sevilla's record is even more amazing. In 2006 and 2007, Sevilla FC won both UEFA League finals, and in 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2020 four Europa League finals, Sevilla also won the title and completed an unprecedented third consecutive title.
After winning the Europa League (including the UEFA Cup) seven times, Sevilla top the Europa League league winners, beating Middlesbrough, Espanyol, Benfica, Dnipro, Liverpool, Inter and Roma. In addition to Sevilla, who have won the title seven times, Juve, Inter, Liverpool and Atletico also rank second with three titles.
With all seven final wins, Sevilla FC set a magical Europa League record. Whether the manager is Emery, Julen Lopetegui or Mendiribal, Sevilla can win the Europa League. In the Champions League final, Real Madrid won all 8 games.
In addition to the magical record of winning the Europa League final, Sevilla FC have also continued another record, that is, if they reach the last eight of the Europa League (including the UEFA Cup), Sevilla will finally win the title.
7 times winners, second only to 5 teams
After the 2015-16 season, Sevilla FC won the Europa League for the second time in their history, a record that Atletico Madrid and Chelsea have also achieved. Including the UEFA Cup, Sevilla have lost just three of their 40 Europa League knockout matches.
Miraculously, Sevilla FC never missed a Europa League final, but never won the Champions League, and the UEFA Super Cup was only won in 2006, after suffering five consecutive defeats.
After winning the Europa League seven times, Sevilla FC have the fifth most titles in Europe (Champions League, Europa League, UEFA Europa League), behind Real Madrid with 16 titles, Barca with 12 times, Milan and Liverpool with nine times and Bayern Munich with eight times.
Serie A nemesis
Sevilla FC are unbeaten in their last seven games against Italian teams, winning the Europa League after beating Inter in 2020 and Roma in 2023. Meanwhile, Sevilla FC have qualified in their last six Europa League knockout matches against Italian teams.
Winning the title after beating Inter and Roma respectively allowed Sevilla to continue the strong position of La Liga teams in European finals. La Liga teams have won 10-4 against Serie A teams in 14 European finals, winning all four of their last four matches.
Prior to the game against Sevilla, Roma manager Jose Mourinho won all five European finals. However, once Sevilla met in the Europa League, the Portuguese had to break the law of victory in the final.
