Spanish team, Sevlla are Europa champions for the seventh time

Sevilla defeated Roma 4-1 on penalties to emerge champions.

The Spanish side came from 1-0 down to take the game to penalties in which they stepped up to win the competition once again.

Gonzalo Montiel, who won the World Cup for Argentina with a penalty, took the final kick to win his club side a trophy too.

It wasn’t without drama though after he missed his first spot-kick before Roma goalkeeper Rui Patricio was found to have encroached and it was retaken.

Montiel scored his second penalty and ended Jose Mourinho’s 100% record in finals of UEFA competitions.
