Europa League: Mourinho reacts after losing first final

AS Roma manager, Jose Mourinho has praised his team for giving everything, despite losing to Sevilla in the Europa League final on Wednesday night.

The Serie A side took the lead through Paulo Dybala, but conceded the equalizer in the second half thanks to an own goal from Gianluca Mancini.

The game remained 1-1 at the end of extra time and had to be decided by penalties.

Mancini and Roger Ibanez both saw their spot-kicks saved by Bono before Gonzalo Montiel netted the winning penalty after a dramatic retake.

“We’re dead tired physically, dead tired mentally, dead because we think it is an unjust defeat with lots of incidents that are debatable.

“We are dead tired, but proud. I always say you can lose a football match, but never your dignity or professionalism.

“I won five European finals, I lost this one, but I return home prouder than ever this time. The lads gave absolutely everything this season,” Mourinho told Sky Italia.
