Neither side could find the winner in the extra time, with Sevilla winning 4-1 in the shootouts.

Mourinho sets unwanted record

The Mirror reports that Roma's Europa League final heartbreak at the hands of Sevilla brought Mourinho's incredible 20-year unbeaten record in the European finals to a halt.

Before the Wednesday night defeat, Mourinho had won each of the European finals he had qualified for with the different clubs he has managed during his illustrious managerial career.

The Portuguese won his first European final with Porto during the 2003/04 season when he helped the club win the Champions League.

According to TalkSPORT, Mourinho had been to five European finals with Porto, Inter Milan, Manchester United and Roma, winning all of them.
