Invincible Sevilla team! Led and pushed to their limits by Roma in the 1st half, the Andalusians came back from very far to equalize and finally win their 7th Europa League on penalties. An endless match, punctuated by faults, whining and stoppage time, which therefore propels Sevilla to the roof of Europe for the 5th time in the last 9 years.
Opposite, AS Rome has only its eyes to cry. José Mourinho believed in it. For long minutes. Before suddenly falling back to earth. The Special One is no longer invincible in the European final. Isn’t that the news of the evening?
We were waiting for the bus. The metro, tram or backhoe, of which only Jose Mourinho, armed with its immutable defensive precepts, has the secret. Nothing happened, at least in the first half. Another confusing bluff from a man who is never more dangerous than when he can surprise.
Surprise, that’s what he does at the start of the match. By positioning his men very high. By forcing them to press, harass, unbalance an opponent not used to being jostled in this way.
So it’s still Mourinho, it’s still… not necessarily spectacular. But it’s damn effective. Two shots in the first half. A first, signed Leonardo Spinazzola to warm the gloves Bono (12′). A second, much sharper, out of the feet of Paulo Dybala to put Roma on velvet at the half-hour mark (34′). Mourinho can be jubilant… or not. Grumble, the Portuguese…
Opposite, Seville is unable to sublimate. 45 difficult minutes, spent in the meshes of a defensive cobweb woven by Mourinho. And then that overpowered shell from Rakitic on the post. Just before halftime. To bring the giant out of its torpor. And remind Mourinho that the opponent, too, is a Special One…
