Europa League

Erik Lamela says Sevilla will enjoy their Europa League triumph ‘a lot’ after seventh triumph in the competition


Sevilla have continued their incredible record in Europa League finals after sealing the trophy with a penalty shootout victory over Roma in Budapest.

They have now won all seven finals they have been in either the UEFA Cup or Europa League.

However, their forward Erik Lamela admitted it was not their best performance.

Speaking to BT Sport at full time, the Argentine said: “This is amazing. It’s amazing. I can’t ask for more. This feeling is unbelievable and we’re going to enjoy a lot.

“Not easy game to play. We were not feeling in our best day. They played this game. They defend well. [It] was difficult to find the spaces and create the situations.”

Lamela came on for Sevilla at half-time as Jose Luis Mendilibar looked for a way to get his Sevilla side back in the game, with Roma leading at the break.

Lamela’s most telling contribution came from the penalty spot, to put his team 2-1 ahead in the shootout.

“This team fought a lot, and tonight we are going to enjoy a lot”, he said.

A match of poor quality finished 1-1 after extra-time and Roger Ibanez and Gianluca Mancini missed in the shootout for Jose Mourinho’s side – giving Sevilla the chance to take the glory.

Gonzalo Montiel, who also scored the winning spot-kick for Argentina in the World Cup final against France, tucked home the decisive kick once more.

He missed at the first attempt, but VAR ordered the penalty to be re-taken due to encroachment, and he found the net with his second effort.
