Sevilla faced Roma in the 2022-23 UEFA Europa League Final, a high-stakes clash that pitted the Spanish side against Jose Mourinho’s squad. The final finished with a 1-1 scoreline after extra time, and Sevilla eventually claimed the title on penalties, securing their seventh triumph in Europe’s second-tier competition.
The only official prior meeting between Sevilla and Roma before this decider occurred in the 2019-20 Europa League Round of 16. Julen Lopetegui led Sevilla to a 2-0 victory at the Schauinsland-Reisen-Arena in Duisburg, Germany, sending them through to the quarterfinals of the competition. That win established a small head-to-head advantage for Sevilla ahead of their later European showdown.
That 2019-20 fixture took place behind closed doors due to the Covid-19 pandemic, which affected attendance and the overall atmosphere. In the decisive moments of that tie, players like Sergio Reguilon, who delivered an assist, and Youssef En-Nesyri, whose goal contributed to the win, played crucial roles in shaping Sevilla’s progress through the rounds, helping set the tone for the club’s European ambitions. Lucas Ocampos also provided the creative spark behind several important moves, underscoring the team’s depth in attack and versatility across the pitch.
In addition to their competitive meetings, Sevilla and Roma have faced each other in friendly settings. The clubs played a goalless draw in the 2021 pre-season, a match notable for Mourinho’s first competitive impressions with Roma and for the tactical adjustments observed on the ground. Earlier, in 2017, Sevilla claimed a 2-1 victory during the Antonio Puerta Trophy, a fixture that showcased the contrasting styles and strengths of both clubs as they prepared for domestic and European campaigns ahead.
