Sevilla vs Roma Preview
Europa League Final, Wednesday, May 31st, 20:00 (UK)
Sevilla had a torrid start to the season but they have turned it around since Jose Luis Mendilibar came in as manager. They have beaten some giants of European football on their way to the final. They edged past Juventus in extra time in the semi-final. They also eliminated Manchester United in the quarter-finals.
Despite the upturn in form since changing the manager, the damage was already done. Winning this competition is the club’s only chance of playing European football next season. The prize of Champions League qualification could prove to be extremely valuable as they look to bolster their squad this summer.
Standing in their way are Roma. Mourinho’s side won the European Conference League last season and are looking to make it back-to-back European successes. They have just one win in their last nine matches so drastic improvement is needed when the game kicks off in Budapest.
Like Sevilla, this is Roma’s only chance of qualifying for next season’s Champions League. They narrowly beat Bayer Leverkusen in the semi-final. The away leg saw them have just one shot in what was a quintessential performance for a Jose side away in Europe.
