AS Roma and Sevilla FC win the last four and will face each other in the final

After the Champions League final, we now know the poster for the Europa League final, which will take place on May 31 in Budapest. Sevilla FC, who won at the end of extra time against Juventus (2-1 ap), Thursday, May 18, will face AS Roma there. The club from the Italian capital, which is aiming for a second success in a row in the European Cup, after its success in the Europa League conference last season, qualified by holding firm Thursday on the lawn of Bayer Leverkusen (0-0 ).

Sevilla FC want their throne back

Since 2006 and its first success in the Europa League, Sevilla FC has made C3 its great specialty. In 14 years, the Andalusian club have won the competition six times, more than any other team. The Sevillians will have the opportunity to win a seventh title in the final on May 31, thanks to their victory in extra time against Juventus at home on Thursday. Led after Dusan Vlahovic’s goal on his first ball (65th), Sevilla was able to react.

Suso first equalized (72nd), then Lamela scored in extra time (95th). A deserved victory in view of the many chances of the Sevillian players, who have long stumbled on Wojciech Szczesny. In its last Europa League final, in 2020, Sevilla won against Inter Milan (3-2). This time, the Andalusian club will face another Italian club, Roma. Perhaps a good omen for the players of José Luis Mendilibar, the Sevilla coach who arrived on the coaching bench less than two months ago.

Roma and Mourinho target European double

Winner of the very first continental competition in its history with the Europa League conference last year, AS Roma will play a second European Cup final in a row. José Mourinho’s team qualified for the Europa League final on Thursday, going for a draw on the lawn of Bayer Leverkusen (0-0), after their narrow victory in the first leg at home (2- 1).

With a clenched fist at the end of the match, the Portuguese coach of the Italian club celebrated this ticket to the final acquired after a duel largely dominated by the Germans from Leverkusen. The latter dominated the game from start to finish (22 shots to 1) and almost scored thanks to Moussa Diaby, who hit the crossbar early in the game (12th). The French then failed to endanger Roma. The latter, sixth in Serie A, could validate its qualification for the next Champions League in the event of victory in the final against Sevilla.
