The people of Seville are chasing a seventh triumph in their long-running European campaign, aiming to count the UEFA Europa League final among their most cherished successes. The showpiece match takes place this Wednesday at 9 p.m. in Budapest, at the Puskas Arena, where Sevilla Fútbol Club seeks to extend its tradition of excellence by lifting the trophy for a seventh time after reaching the final on six prior occasions. The city’s supporters are certain to bring their energy to the stands, while Jose Mourinho and his AS Roma bring a familiar level of competitiveness to Spanish football’s high-stakes stage.

Mendilibar, fully prepared but missing Acuña
As the final approaches, Seville appears poised to unleash a display of football that blends experience with flair. Coach Jose Luis Mendilibar is keen to carve his name into continental history and will take his squad to the Puskas Arena with a clear intent. Marcos Acuña will not feature after being sent off in the second leg of the semi-final against Juventus, so Brazilian Alex Telles steps in to fill the role on the left side of defense.
Beyond that change, Mendilibar is expected to lean on his trusted group. In goal, Yassine Bono has enjoyed standout Europa League form, with Marko Dmitrovic serving in league competition. The back line will see the captain Jesus Navas return on the right, while Loic Bade and Nemanja Gudelj are set to start at center-back, and Alex Telles will slot in on the left. Bade is managing a minor niggle, so his availability will be watched closely, and if he cannot play, Karim Rekik would be the natural replacement in central defense.
In midfield, Mendilibar will likely deploy a robust diamond—Fernando, Casemiro style presence not explicit here—alongside Ivan Rakitic, anchoring a unit that also includes Lucas Ocampos and Bryan Gil operating on the flanks, with Oliver Torres sitting in the middle. There is also the option to start Erik Lamela or Suso Fernández if ever needed. The focal point in attack remains Youssef En-Nesyri, the Moroccan striker who leads the line with confidence.
On the Roma side, Mourinho’s team approaches the final with plenty of ambition. The Italian side faces questions about the fitness of Paulo Dybala and Leonardo Spinazzola, though the training ground chatter suggests both could still feature. Spinazzola, if not ready, could be replaced on the left by Stephen El Shaarawy, who has stepped in with relative ease before.
The Romans are expected to deploy their familiar 1-3-5-2 system, a shape that has become synonymous with Mourinho’s approach in big games. The spine of the team contains Gianluca Mancini, Bryan Cristante, Roger Ibanez, Nemanja Matic, Tammy Abraham, and captain Lorenzo Pellegrini, along with goalkeeper Rui Patricio. This core will look to deliver once again in Budapest as Roma chase continental glory.
