Updates from the 8pm BST kick-off in BudapestFootball Daily: Perfect records on line in finalGet in touch: contact Barry via email or Twitter
Whatever way you look at it, it seems like a coin-toss. Unbeaten in six Europa League finals, Sevilla take on a Roma team managed by José Mourinho, who has not lost any of the five European finals in which he has been involved – a matter of fact, even if he doesn’t like to talk about it too often (#eye-roll). Something has to give and somebody’s scarcely believable record will end up indelibly blemished.
Roma go into tonight’s match at Budapest’s Puskás Arena as slight favourites but this is a match that is impossible to call with any confidence. Under Mourinho, Roma finished sixth in Serie A and are seeking back-to-back continental titles after winning last season’s European Conference League. Sevilla will finish comfortably mid-table in Spain following a brief flirtation with relegation until José Luis Mendilibar, their third manager of the season, steered them away from the rocks. Kick-off in Hungary is at 8pm (BST) but stay tuned for team news and build-up.
