The Spanish club has now won all 7 of the competition’s championship games, with captain Jesus Navas involved in their 1st victory over Middlesbrough in 2006.

Despite not finishing in the top 4 in the most recent La Liga season, they managed to earn a spot in the Champions League for the following year.

There will be a sense that things might have been quite different for Roma and manager Jose Mourinho, who had led the team to their first-ever Europa Conference League victory last season. Mourinho had previously won all 5 of his last European finals.

Roma, who had only won in one of their previous 4 European shootouts, were uncomfortable from the spot after pulling out a couple of potential shooters, including captain Lorenzo Pellegrini, Dybala and Abraham.

However, Sevilla handled all 4 of their attempts with a sense of calmness and determination.
