BUDAPEST : Sevilla will target a record-extending seventh Europa League title in Wednesday's final against an AS Roma side under Jose Mourinho, who has himself won five major European trophies including last year's Conference League with the Italians.
However, the Roma manager will have a hard task to steer his team to victory against Europa League thoroughbreds Sevilla who will arrive with momentum as they try to keep their astounding record in their favourite competition after a difficult season. They have lost only two matches since the arrival of manager Jose Luis Mendilibar in mid-March and are in the race for a Conference League place with one game left in LaLiga after spending most of the season fighting to avoid relegation.
With Sevilla and Roma both having struggled for form in their domestic leagues, they need to win on Wednesday to qualify for the Champions League next season. In the case of Sevilla, who are 11th in LaLiga, they could miss out on Europe entirely.
