Coach Mourinho throws medal after defeat in Europa League final

AS Roma took the lead in the 35th minute through Paulo Dybala but Sevilla equalized 1-1 early in the second half through an own goal by defender Gianluca Mancini. After two periods of extra time without any more goals, the two teams were forced to decide the winner in a penalty shootout. Gonzalo Montiel took the decisive penalty to give Sevilla a 4-1 victory after Mancini and Roger Ibanez (AS Roma) failed to take theirs.

Coach Mourinho threw medals into the crowd of fans

After the final, after speaking to the players, coach Mourinho went to collect his medal for the runner-up team. However, immediately after, the Portuguese coach shocked everyone by suddenly taking off his medal and throwing it into the crowd before going down the tunnel.

This is the sixth time Mourinho has led a team to the final. In previous times, the strategist nicknamed "The Special One" was successful with the Champions League (twice), Europa League, UEFA Cup and Europa Conference League (with AS Roma last season).

Coach Mourinho (second from right) reacted many times

Coach Mourinho was full of confidence before the Europa League final against Sevilla in Budapest (Hungary). Despite a favorable start and good position, the championship still belonged to Sevilla. Mourinho's "special" spirit disappeared after the match with Sevilla, a match that was ranked among the most boring finals after 3 hours.

This was a final where AS Roma were extremely determined and did everything they could to gain the upper hand: provoking the referee, wasting time, controlling the ball. Mourinho repeatedly reacted violently on the touchline after controversial situations. However, AS Roma paid the price for not being able to convert their advantage and Mourinho suffered his first defeat in leading a team in a European tournament to a final. On the contrary, Sevilla continued to extend their record of winning the Europa League with their 7th title.
