Gonzalo Montiel converted the decisive penalty to give Sevilla a 4-1 victory after Mancini and Roger Ibanez (AS Roma) failed to convert their efforts.

Coach Mourinho threw medals into the crowd of fans

After the final, after speaking to the players, Coach Mourinho went to receive his medal for the runner-up team. However, immediately after, the Portuguese coach shocked everyone by suddenly taking off his medal and throwing it into the crowd before going down the tunnel.

Coach Mourinho (second from right) reacted many times

Coach Mourinho was full of confidence before the Europa League final against Sevilla in Budapest (Hungary). Despite a favorable start and good position, the final championship still belonged to Sevilla. Mourinho's "special" spirit disappeared after the match with Sevilla, the match was ranked as the most boring final after 3 hours.

This was a final where AS Roma were highly determined and did everything down to the smallest detail to gain the upper hand: provoking the referee, wasting time, controlling the ball. Mourinho repeatedly reacted violently on the touchline after controversial situations. However, AS Roma paid the price for not being able to convert their advantage and Mourinho suffered his first defeat in leading a team in a European tournament to a final. On the contrary, Sevilla continued to extend their record of winning the Europa League with their 7th title.
