Sevilla Win Seventh Europa League Title
After a 1-1 draw after extra time, Sevilla beat Roma 4-1 on penalties to win their seventh UEFA Cup/Europa League title.
The match was a tense affair, with both teams having chances to win it in normal time. However, it was Sevilla who eventually prevailed, thanks to a brilliant performance from goalkeeper Yassine Bounou, who saved two penalties in the shootout.
The victory is a record seventh for Sevilla in the competition, and it moves them one ahead of Liverpool and Inter Milan in the all-time standings. It is also Sevilla's sixth major trophy under Unai Emery, who has now won more European titles than any other manager in history.
For Roma, the defeat is a bitter blow. They were the better team for much of the match, and they will be disappointed not to have won their first major European trophy since 1961.
However, Sevilla deserve credit for their victory. They showed great resilience to come back from a goal down, and they were clinical in the penalty shootout.
The victory is a major boost for Sevilla, who have now won two major trophies this season. They will be hoping to continue their good form when they face Barcelona in the Copa del Rey final next month.
