Mourinho angry with referee after controversial decision

In the final minutes of the second half, Nemanja Matic made a low cross from the left wing. Roma players reacted strongly when they saw the ball hit Fernando's hand. However, referee Anthony Taylor did not award a penalty to the Serie A representative.

After consulting the slow-motion video, Mr. Taylor and the VAR team still stood by their original decision. The English referee believed that the ball hit Fernando when the player tried to keep his arms close to his body.

Mourinho failed for the first time in the European Cup while Sevilla continued to prove their number one position in the Europa League with the 7th title in all 7 finals. The championship of the second-tier European Cup also brought the club at the Sanchez Pizjuan Stadium a ticket to the group stage of the 2023/24 Champions League.
