UEFA Europa League 2022/23 Season

[Marykeller]

I also saw Rome had played well enough but even though in the end Roma lost through the penalty shootout that would not make the defeat embarrassing, because the defeat through penalties did not look embarrassing, congratulations to Sevilla

I do agree with it. Roma has a chance to win the game but mancini has been ruining it. It's sevilla's luck. Roma must accept if sevilla is again winning europa league for the seventh time.
Roma didn't have strong mentality when it comes to the penalty against sevilla.

Roma were unlucky. Otherwise, an experienced player like Gianluca Mancini would not have made such a big mistake in such an important match. It was a ridiculous mistake. And Mancini shouldn't be blamed for that. He did not understand the movement of the ball properly. However, Roma's performance was quite good. But still, they can't win. It was Roma's misfortune. However, with Sevilla's performances this season, they deserve the title. The performance of Sevilla's players in the final was impressive.

From my own point of view,I don't think that Roma messed things up,it was just that they weren't lucky enough to be victorious and Sevilla has that luck,which was why they didn't make mistake in any of their PK. If you look at the game,the last PK was canceled after Roma's goalkeeper caught the ball,and it was replayed which the Argentine in the second time scored the PK to give his club the winner of this season Europa league. I don't see penalty as a weakness from the players who took them. I see penalty as a game of luck because the probability of winning any game with a penalty shoot out is 50-50.

Any club can lose in a penalty, even big clubs do. The penalty shootout is a game of luck, luck can shine on any club to win. It was Sevilla luck to win by a penalty against Roma by 4-1. Although Sevilla had the ball possession of the match by 67%, 19 total shots, and 3 shots on target while Roma had 33% of ball possession, 11 total shots, and 4 shots on target. This is the 7th time Sevilla is winning the Europa League, that makes them supreme in a Europa League while Roma had only won ones in 1990/1991

[AakZaki]

I didn't expect that AS Roma could only score 1 goal in a penalty shoot-out, and that is indeed a battle of luck that will make one of the clubs have to be satisfied with the result. If in the Champions League we have Real Madrid, then in the Europa League we have Sevilla.
I will speak a little out of the context of the Europa League, yes I really regret it when Sevilla in the domestic league cannot be like in the Europa League. In La Liga it looks like they are not strong enough to stay at the top. The previous 3 seasons they could always be in the top 4 of the standings, but this season they had to be knocked out by being in 11th place, even though that could still change in the last week, but still it was a decline they showed.

It seems that this proves that the quality of La Liga is starting to improve. Sevilla may not be able to appear in the Europa League if they fail to win this season. But the fInal against Roma was finished and Sevilla were champions. Roma did not play full defense like they did against Leverkusen. It seems that after a one-goal lead, Roma defended more. But Roma failed to play well the rest of the time even they made an own goal. Congratulations Sevilla you deserved to win, your game was better than Roma.

[Rengga Jati]

It is luck as well that is true, but sometimes there are penalties that can't be defended and that's also skill and full concentration and dedication. When a player hits the post he was nervous and the keeper didn't even have to defend. That is why some players are better at penalties than others. Roma's penalties were bad and that makes it a bad performance at the penalties and not bad luck at penalties. When both shoot their penalties equally well and the goalkeeper chooses the right corner one more time than the other goalkeeper, then it is more about luck.

Actually, when talking about luck, maybe there is. However, I believe more in the mental readiness and the players who are taken for penalty kicks, this is not luck. Taking a final kick, especially in the UEFA European League is not easy, it is more dramatic and the executors certainly have higher pressure. So, this is more about technical readiness, accuracy, and what is also important is their mentality. So, not solely because of bad luck or luck. In this case, it means that Sevilla is better prepared in several ways compared to Roma when it comes to determining the final winner of the UEFA European League.

And once again, congrats to Sevilla. This is really unexpected because how bad they were at the start of the season, even in the middle of the season, they are still playing very badly, especially in La Liga. But they can really prove that they are still worthy of being reckoned with, and won the UEFA European League this season.

[GiftedMAN]

It was a bad management from the referee yesterday night.Roma played better until the point Dybala was out for that Netherland attacker which was the worse player of the whole match in my opinion.The referee missed two clamorous penalties for Roma and one for Sevilla and the bad thing was that he kept saying "No penalty,no penalty",I wonder why UEFA let Premier League referees in such finals,they are not fit for when two teams of other nations play each other as they are used to another type of football in the Premier League,I am not saying they should not manage a final but not such type of referees who made the game go a different way.

I agree with you that they shouldn't use that kind of referee in a final because both teams will be focused on winning the league and will do whatever it takes to do so. Roma was very serious in the game yesterday because they knew Sevilla had the desire to win the Europa League. The first goal convinced me that Roma was fully prepared to defeat Sevilla; the only thing Sevilla has was luck.
Roma really played well, and even Sevilla will believe that they just got lucky to win the game, therefore it is not terrible that they didn't win the game since the game is either you win or you lose.

Roma are truly defeated by their own destiny. As luck would have it, Sevilla won the match surprisingly in Roma's hands.  At 55 minutes I couldn't believe myself. Because such a mistake in the final match was never expected from an experienced player like Gianluca Mancini. I didn't see Sevilla make much of an impact in the 90 minutes against Roma.  The match was tied at 1-1 despite an own goal but Roma had a disappointing performance on penalties. Only one short they got right and the rest were off target.

Yes mate, their luck didn't favor with them and the goalkeeper could not provide good support. The final match between Sevilla and Roma created huge excitement. Dybala scored 1 in the 34th minutes to give Roma ahead in the match. But that score was able to equalize with another goal through opponent team player Mancini. As a result, the match ended with Mancini 1 and Roma 1. Unfortunately when the game went to penalties Roma lost 4-1. It would have been acceptable if the loss had been 2-1 but when it was 4-1 the Roma crowd certainly did not take the defeat normally. In the final, the whole match was exciting but the ending was not good.

Roma coach José Mourinho may not have had his players practice penalties before the final match, which is why Roma failed so badly in penalties. Our regional tournaments are also full of competitive penalties but we didn't see anything like that from Roma against Sevilla. It is a normal rule that one team will win the game and one team will lose but what Roma did in the UEL final match was really unexpected for us. Roma have been great on the field but such a poor performance from them in the penalty shootout has really disappointed many fans. The outcome of this match could have been a little different.

I don't agree with you on this, I don't think the lost of Roma in the penalties came as a result of the coach Jose Mourinho not letting them practice penalty kick before the game. The game against Sevilla is not the first time Roma is playing penalty more over the players are professionals they ought to have learnt before now on how to play penalty kick but considering what has been said about penalties, it's a no man's game but rather a game of luck and Sevilla was lucky that the penalties ended in their favour even though Roma's penalty kick was very poor.

Move-in away from the penalty kick, Sevilla should have won the game before the penalties because they dominated the game but lacked the tactical finishing and Roma were good in the defense but lost a lot of scoring opportunities even though they were denied a clear penalty which was clearly seen as a hand ball in the box of the Sevilla.

[lizarder]

Roma are really good at defending, but have difficulty building attacks because Sevilla has put strong pressure since Roma have won 1 goal. Roma were also fortunate in that Sevilla were not awarded penalty after the referee reviewed the VAR for an unconsidered offence. The result of the match is determined fairly because both teams must determine their status in the penalty round. Congratulations to Sevilla on their 7th Europa League title, I expected it.

Defense is Jose Mourinho's strength in big matches like this and that is evidenced by the statistics of possession of the ball that Sevilla has and the several attacks that have been created, but because Rome's defense is so solid it makes it difficult for Sevilla to score goals. But unfortunately Mancini made a mistake due to an own goal in the 55th minute, thus opening up opportunities for Sevilla to continue to suppress the Roman defense. The several yellow cards obtained in the first half made the Roma players a little more careful to avoid a second yellow card.

Luckily the referee canceled the penalty for Sevilla after checking the VAR, thus giving Roma another chance in the rest of the game, but until normal time and extra time no more goals were scored so a penalty shootout became Sevilla's winning scenario. I agree with you regardless of the controversy over the referee in charge of the match but I think Sevilla deserved this trophy.

[Lordhermes]

It was an interesting game last night, both team played like a champions. this is how a final game should be, i just felt bad for coach Mourinho for looking his first European final,  Sevilla has again shown that they own this cup, winning it for eight times is something amazing, it was a beautiful night for the Spanish club.

penalty is a lucky game, any team can have it, i don't blame any players for missing the penalties.

[Renampun]

Can’t believe Sevilla did it again, that trophy really is theirs isn’t it.

Did anybody see the short video of Mourinho waiting in the carpark for the referee (Englishman Anthony Taylor).
https://twitter.com/centregoals/status/1664165315498876930

That trophy is ours next season (LFC).

I also read news about this, even a few years ago when he was still training Madrid, Mourinho did the same thing (waiting for the referee) when Madrid lost in the final, maybe this has become his habit LOL

Other news that doesn't wear is Mourinho throwing the runner-up medal into the stands, many speculate he is not happy with the results that Rome got.

congrats once again Sevilla, the fans celebrating their favorite team's win on the street.

Football: Sevilla wins Europa League again

I don't think so. I think a manager like Mourinho would never overlook the possibility of this final match to end by penalties. Because his strategy in this kind of matches is mostly defending rather than attacking. He doesn't want to take big risks unless there is a big need. He must have practiced some penalties also with his players because of that.

But the inevitable fact is that nothing can be certain for you no matter how hard you work on something. Basically Roma players weren't having a good day for penalties. Actually the missed penalties weren't weak ones but the goalkeeper Bono was just impressive with his prediction and saving skills.

Mourinho's series of not losing in the finales is gone now.

[baeva]

Sevilla is still pressuring Roma to score their second goal and Navas is outstanding in his wing,he is a big problem to Roma defense as he equalized the goal for Sevilla. The match is at its peak and I think that Roma  can't withstand the pressure from Sevilla. Sevilla was almost given a penalty but it was canceled by the Referee as Ocampus wasn't knocked down in the box. There is big hope for Sevilla to win this match because they are taking the match so serious and they are very confident.

That decision about a penalty to be given or not for Sevilla was totally correct. Because it was clear that there was only a touch to the ball by the Roma defender and that was all. While we we are closing in on the final whistle of regular time I don't think we will see a last-minute goal. None of the teams would be willing to take a big risk in a critical moment like this because it would be really difficult to make up for it.

Even in extra time I don't expect the tie to be broken. Players would like to play more carefully and keep the match balanced as much as possible. If we see a goal then it would come by a counter-attack I guess. I think we will watch penalty shoot-outs and I think Roma will win the title after this.

Quite a possibility, but I have noticed that Roma's players are already very tired, which is not the case with Sevilla, all they do is go on the attack. Yes, not as fiercely, but still going and maybe they'll get the better of their opponents in extra time. Remarkable that none of the coaches have used all the substitutions, especially Mourinho who has a lot of players with yellow cards, he has a lot of confidence in his players

Both Roma and Sevilla are being very careful at this stage of the finals. It is about 100mins of the match and it appears that Roma players are more tired than Sevilla players because Sevilla players are pushing more attack than the Roma players in this first half of the extra time.
I believe Mourinho will have to defend this match till it will enter to penalty kick.
I really want Mourinho to win this cup for Roma as Sevilla has had so much of this title

I wanted to too, but alas, it didn't happen. But there is an excuse for that, I don't understand why such inexperienced players from Roma's side took the penalty, did Mourinho want to give them a chance? Not only did they not use it, but they let the team down... OK, the reality is that a penalty shootout is almost always roulette, so there's no point in blaming the players for that

[Davian144]

It was a pretty bad day for Mancini in this match because apart from scoring a return goal for his own club, he was also one of the kickers who failed in the penalty shootout.
Now everything has happened and they have to get back to focusing on the near-term competition that will happen in the last week for Serie A because they also still have a chance to be in the Europa League next season.

The own goal that occurred through Gianluca Mancini was very profitable for Sevilla, because if it had not happened to Mancini, AS Roma would have won the Europa League this season. But it was very unfortunate because AS Roma had to lose in the final this time on penalties, so that made the AS Roma coach feel a little disappointed about this. Because AS Roma has fought very well in the final this time even though it was not lucky enough to win this season in the Europa League.

[Leviathan.007]

I guess Gianluca Mancini is not in a good situation at all and after the own goal Gianluca Mancini tried to even have a better performance and help his teams to maybe score another goal and take the game back but the fact about Sevila us they were lucky enough during this season in Europa League to finally win the title.

[bbigtart]

Well, indeed I feel the referee in the final match is full of controversy. But apart from that, actually As Roma's strategy was also wrong. As soon as Mou was 1-0 up, he immediately parked the bus in the second half. In the end it was proven that it was not effective and conceded instead through Mancini's own goal.

As a game, As Roma must also be admitted that they are far behind than Sevilla from all sides. Especially in the second half, yes, after the position changed to 1-1, As Roma looked very difficult in starting attacks. In addition, Dybala, who became the foundation of As Roma when carrying out a counter attack, was pulled out and replaced by Wijnaldum, whose position is a defensive midfielder.

From there, I also thought that this would be game over for Rome. Because practically since Dybala was withdrawn right in the middle of the second half until extra time there were no more dangerous attacks from As Roma against Sevilla's defense.

Several times As Roma also got opportunities through set pieces which were relatively not too threatening to Sevilla's goal. When I went into the penalty shootout, I was sure that As Roma would lose. Moreover, Sevilla has Bounou as a goalkeeper who has experience in penalty shootouts in the WC with Morocco & the Argentinian national team defender Montiel who became the decider for Argentina in the WC final. Plus there are several other senior & top players like Rakitic, En-Neysri, etc. So, because of that, in my opinion, it is appropriate and proper that Sevilla come out as champions of the seventh Europa League.

Both Sevilla and AS Roma has tried their best, it is a prestigious title. Unfortunately, some AS Roma players performed underperformance, it may be the impact of their bad results in Serie A lately. The tactic made by Mourinho was also not effective, they should play more offensively in that match. It was a very bad idea to play defensively against Sevilla.

Anyway, it is surprising Sevilla could win the title, it is very different from their performance in La Liga. They were lucky that the opponent made 1 own goal, so the match ended with a penalty shootout.

penalty is a lucky game, any team can have it, i don't blame any players for missing the penalties.

It is not only about luck, it is also about players' mentality. AS Roma players seem not ready for the penalty shootout, they too much regretted their own goal. So, they were not focused on the penalty shootout.

[Bananington]

The own goal that occurred through Gianluca Mancini was very profitable for Sevilla, because if it had not happened to Mancini, AS Roma would have won the Europa League this season.

Sevilla was a threat to the Roma defenders from the second half. They forced the mistake that Mancini made which lead to the equalising goal. Sevilla were too fast for Roma. Sevilla have played in the finals of this competition many times against different teams, so they know how to keep calm and not let the tension of being in a finals get to them. Liverpool will be in the Europa next season, maybe they will win the competition from Sevilla with the annoyance of not being able to play in the champions league.

Mancini has been bad all season and made some mistakes that costed a lot Roma. Some mistake were really big like this one in finals.

Mourinho's series of not losing in the finales is gone now.

Mourinho losing the final to Sevilla is no big deal. I know he didn’t expect it coming but that’s just the reality of the game of football. Mourinho series of not losing in the final is gone now and also Sevilla series of always winning in the final is still intact.

Everything happens for a reason, it was not just the time for Sevilla’s record to be broken yet but it was time for Mourinho’s record to be broken. It was a tough match and both teams really did their best but at the end, the better team won even though it happened through the penalties, because penalties also need expertise to be practiced well in order to become perfect in it too.

Roma worked extremely hard to win the Europa League, but they were unlucky to lose in penalties to Sevilla.

Sevilla is one of the most experienced clubs in Europa League history, having won the title multiple times under various managers. Yesterday's game was very special because so many people were hoping that Roma would win because of Mourinho's influence and some players like Dybala and Abraham, but they were not lucky enough to see the game until the end, which I believe is the reason for Roma's failure in the final.
Sevilla, congratulations.

[bekti3]

Sevilla once again proved that they deserve the title of King of the Europa League. The success of the Rojiblancos in blowing Roma is indeed thanks to Bono's heroic actions that deserves appreciation. In contrast to Bono, Mancini was the most unlucky player in that match, he twice caused disastrous consequences for his own team so that the title he already held had to fall back into Sevilla's hands. Yes, the defeat of Roma in the final also decided Mourinho's achievements on the European stage. And I predict Mourinho will probably leave his job soon and will return to adventure with his new team next season.

Actually Mourinho has done very well bringing Roma to the final is an achievement that cannot be underestimated that sure is impressive
it's just that luck was not on Roma side they were defeated on penalties at least they lost in respectable and have struggled
I agree with you maybe Mourinho will leave Roma next season he will look for another team and continue his impressive record.

Actually looking at what they've done they've worked really hard and even being in the final has pretty much made it clear that they don't play games and I still feel that for the first half it was really impressive for Roma in any case.
But indeed the penalty shootout is definitely something that really can not be blamed for losing in this case. the condition speaks in this case the mentality and the condition of the players it's a shame they are not lucky in this regard.

Roma lost and it's very sad for all the fans because they played quite well in normal time because Dybala was able to score early but it's a shame that Sevilla got lucky for them because an own goal from Mancini made the match even hotter in normal time. Sevilla luck was not only in the final match but they got lucky when they faced Manchester United in the first leg because two own goals from Manchester United players saved them from defeat.

Apart from that, Sevilla also benefited because they had a pretty good goalkeeper figure where Bono was able to ward off a penalty kick from a Roma player. I think one of the Roma players who disappointed the most in the final was Mancini because he scored an own goal and also failed to do the penalty kick properly.

Congratulations Sevilla, I was honestly a bit surprised when I read the news and saw the scoreboard for the UEFA league final match between Sevilla and Rome. Sevilla finally won the finalty because of a 1-1 draw.
Here, I think it is Rome who will be the winner in the final fight, we certainly understand how Mou's experience is in this matter. But this was really unexpected, it seems right if the Seville players did nothing to lose. They were more able to control their mentality so that in the end they were able to bring out their skills very well in the penalty kick.
