Fans celebrated late into the night after Sevilla beat Roma 4-1 on penalties after a 1-1 draw in Budapest to lift the Europa League trophy for a record-extending seventh time, handing Roma manager José Mourinho his first defeat in six European finals. “I think this was a reward for having never stopped believing,” said Sevilla midfielder Óliver Torres. “Many times during this season there have been people who did not believe in us, and we always stayed strong and together, so this was a reward for all our work this year.”
