Roma v Sevilla | Final | UEFA Europa League 2023 | Live stream

 

Sevilla and Roma will clash in the Europa League final at the Puskas Arena on Wednesday, with both teams hoping to secure the silverware. The match will see the six-time winners, Sevilla, take on a Roma side managed by the unbeaten Jose Mourinho in continental finals.

Sevilla has a rich history in the Europa League, having reached the final seven times, more than any other club. They have won the competition on all previous occasions they reached the final, with their first triumph coming in 2006 against Middlesbrough. Their most recent victory was in 2020, and now they aim to conclude a challenging season by lifting the trophy in Hungary.

Under the guidance of their third coach of the campaign, Jose Luis Mendilibar, Sevilla have overcome the difficulties faced in domestic competition and are now one win away from claiming their seventh continental title. Despite a tough season, they have lost only twice under Mendilibar's leadership and have improved significantly.

Roma, led by Jose Mourinho, has already secured five major UEFA trophies. A victory in the final would make Mourinho the most decorated manager in European competition history. He would also be the first coach to win the Europa League with three different clubs, following his previous triumphs with Porto and Manchester United.

Although Roma lost their only UEFA Cup final appearance in 1991, they have reached five European finals overall. Under Mourinho's guidance, they won the inaugural Europa Conference League last year. Despite recent poor form in Italy, Roma has progressed through the group stage and knocked out strong opponents such as Red Bull Salzburg, Real Sociedad, and Bayer Leverkusen in the Europa League.

The stakes are high for Roma, as they sit sixth in Serie A with only one game remaining. They can finish fifth at best, and a victory in the Europa League final would secure direct entry into the Champions League group stage for the 2023-24 season.

Both teams have shown their resilience and determination to reach the final, and Wednesday's match promises to be a captivating battle. Sevilla will be looking to add to their impressive Europa League record, while Roma aims to secure back-to-back continental titles under the guidance of Mourinho. The Puskas Arena in Budapest will set the stage for an intense showdown, with both teams hoping to walk away as champions.
