Sevilla and Roma clash in an intriguing Europa League final in Budapest on Wednesday night.
The first of the three major Uefa finals up on the schedule is perhaps the most difficult to call, with both sides confident of victory in the Hungarian capital.
Sevilla are the undisputed kings of this competition, with their record six wins double that of their closest rivals. Their quest for an incredible seventh title saw them take down PSV Eindhoven, Fenerbahce, Manchester United and Juventus, having entered at the play-off round after finishing third in their Champions League group.
Jose Luis Mendilibar has led an impressive revival during a season of much upheaval at the Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan, with Sevilla nestled safely in mid-table with only one LaLiga fixture left to play this term having been left in relegation trouble during a dire run under Julen Lopetegui’s short-lived successor Jorge Sampaoli. His contract expires this summer.
Standing between Sevilla and more greatness in Europe’s secondary club competition is Roma, who lifted the inaugural Europa Conference League trophy with victory over Feyenoord in Tirana 12 months ago.
After finishing as runners-up to Real Betis in the group stage of this competition, Jose Mourinho’s side knocked out Red Bull Salzburg, Real Sociedad, Feyenoord and Bayer Leverkusen en route to another final.
Doubts continue to swirl over Mourinho’s future with the Giallorossi, who are battling for a top-six finish in Serie A with one game left. Victory here would see ‘the Special One’ win a sixth European title with a fourth different club, while he would also be the first manager to win the Europa League with three different clubs after past successes with both Inter Milan and Manchester United.
Date, kick-off time and venue
The Europa League final is scheduled for an 3AM (Malaysia Time GMT +8) kick-off on Thusrday June 1, 2023.
The match will take place at the Puskas Arena in Budapest, Hungary.
