da stake casino： The Spanish side claimed a record-extending seventh title after triumphing 4-1 on penalties following a bad-tempered 1-1 draw

da bet7： On a night that highlighted an awful lot that is wrong about the modern game, even the decisive spot-kick in the Europa League final shootout caused controversy, with Gonzalo Montiel converting at the second attempt thanks to the intervention of VAR to win the competition for Sevilla for a record-extending seventh time.

Roma were enraged by that call and you'll be hearing plenty more about it from their manager, Jose Mourinho. In truth, though, neither he nor his players could have any legitimate complaints about losing 4-1 on penalties, given the role they'd played in a 1-1 draw in Budapest that, for a long time, felt like a never-ending advert for anti-football.

There was some sympathy among neutrals for Paulo Dybala, who opened the scoring but ended up in tears. However, even the Argentine was dragged into the unseemly touchline rows that overshadowed what unfolded on the field.

Still, when the dust settles after a final that featured 13 yellow cards, there will be nothing but respect for Sevilla, who needed an own goal from Gianluca Mancini to force extra-time but ultimately deserved to win because of their willingness to take the game to their opponents.

Roma, by contrast, will be racked by regrets, having missed the better chances over the course of 120 minutes, with both Tammy Abraham and Andrea Belotti squandering excellent chances.

Worse still, the club's fans will now be fretting over the future of Mourinho, who appears set to quit the club this summer despite leading the Giallorossi to back-to-back UEFA finals.

GOAL runs through the main winners and losers from a tense but ugly encounter at the Puskas Arena…

Dybala clearly wasn't fully fit. Let's face it, he rarely is. But while his injury issues have long been an immense source of frustration, the talent has been in doubt, which is precisely why Mourinho was willing to take a massive gamble by starting a player who had come into this final still struggling with an ankle injury.

Dybala is, by some distance, Roma's most talented attacker. Time and time again in his debut season at the Stadio Olimpico, he has been their difference-maker, even when restricted to the role of impact sub. So, it really wasn't that surprising to see the Argentine break the deadlock in Budapest.

It wasn't the sweetest of strikes from that legendary left foot, with the ball bobbling over Bono's left foot and into the back of the net, but that mattered not a job to a delighted Dybala. Of course, La Joya ended up in tears, with the 29-year-old forced to watch on helplessly during the shootout having been inevitably withdrawn well before the end of normal time.

But selecting Dybala proved a risk well worth taking, just like his signing last summer, as underlined by the 17th goal of an injury-interrupted season.

Mourinho might not be the only high-profile departure at Rome this summer, with Abraham being recently linked with a return to the Premier League. Manchester United, Chelsea and Aston Villa are all said to be interested in the striker. Any of their respective fans who tuned into this particular contest will probably now be wondering why.

Abraham missed the one great chance which came his way, during a scramble in the six-yard box, and ended up spending most of his time trying – and failing – to convince his compatriot Anthony Taylor that he had been fouled.

Of course, one shouldn't judge a player on a single showing, but this performance was very much in keeping with Abraham's entire campaign. He scored 27 times during his first year in Rome, but this season has been an absolute shocker, yielding just nine goals in 53 appearances, and illustrating exactly why Gareth Southgate left the Londoner out of his squad for the 2022 World Cup.

So much of the pre-game talk centred around Mourinho that the absolutely incredible job that Jose Luis Mendilibar has done since taking over at Sevilla in March went almost completely ignored. When he was parachuted into the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan, he had a massive rescue job on his hands, with the Rojiblancos 14th in the table and in serious danger of relegation because of the congested nature of the bottom of the Liga standings.

However, Sevilla have lost just two of their 11 games since to secure safety with something to spare, while at the same time reaching yet another Europa League final. And that was all thanks to a coach whose last taste of continental competition had come with Athletic Club in the Intertoto Cup 18 years ago!

Mendilibar's contract is set to run out this summer, but one can be certain that he'll be offered a new deal after overseeing Sevilla's stunning, late-season turnaround. The 62-year-old – who is now the oldest Europa League-winning coast in history – said before the final that Mourinho is "always the main man" on such occasions, but right now, it's him.

While Montiel was celebrating another decisive spot-kick, just a few months after winning the World Cup for Argentina, Gianluca Mancini was in agony. The final had started so well for the centre-back, who created the game's opening goal for Dybala with a superb pass from just inside the Sevilla half.

However, it was Mancini who deflected in the Jesus Navas cross that levelled the match. Even more heartbreak was to follow, with the 27-year-old missing his spot-kick in the shootout.

Safe to say that it will be some time before Mancini gets over this toughest of defeats.
