All records in European Football after of a new title of Sevilla in UEFA Europa League tournament

Sevilla defeat to Roma in the UEFA Europa League Final

From the records of Sevilla and the Spanish teams in...the first time of Jose Mourinho, Paulo and Erik Lamela, and from the exploits of Jesus Navas to those of Paulo Dybala. Yellow cards and penalties, these are the elements that characterized the important final (31/5) of the Europa League, as recorded by the International Federation of Football History and Statistics (IFFHS) represented in Greece by Manos Staramopoulos (editor-in-chief of Discoveryfootball):


* Sevilla have won all 7 finals they have participated in European competitions (UEFA Cup 2006, 2007, Europa League 2014, 2015, 2016, 2020, 2023).

* Only 5 clubs have more European trophies than Sevilla: Real Madrid (16), Barcelona (12), AC Milan (9), Liverpool (9), Bayern (8).

* Sevilla set the new record for most European trophies in the 21st century (7). He surpassed Real Madrid, who won the Champions League 6 times.

* Sevilla confirmed the dominance of Spanish clubs in the Europa League:

  9 of the 14 finals of this competition (since 2009 when the UEFA Cup was renamed the Europa League) were won by representatives of La Liga. In addition to 5 wins by Sevilla, Atletico Madrid celebrated the victory 3 times (2010, 2012 and 2018) and Villarreal once (2021).

* Spanish teams have won all of the last 18 major European finals in which they faced a non-Spanish team. This streak began with Real Madrid's victory over Bayer Leverkusen in the 2002 Champions League final.

* Sevilla equaled Liverpool as the only team to have won 3 European titles on penalties.

  Sevilla did it in 2007 (vs Espanyol), 2014 (vs Benfica) and now against Roma.

Liverpool won the 1984 Champions Cup final on penalties against Roma. In the 2005 Champions League final against Milan and in 2019 in the European Super Cup against Chelsea.

* For Jose Mourinho, it was the 6th final in major European competitions and the first to be defeated.

  He has won the previous 5: 2 with Porto (UCL and UEFA Cup), 1 with Inter (UCL), 1 with Manchester United (UEFA Cup) and 1 with Roma (Conference League).

* Mourinho has lost 9 out of 11 penalty shootouts in his coaching career in all competitions, domestic and international.

* Paulo Dybala (Roma) is the first Argentine to score in a UEFA final since Lionel Messi (Barcelona) in the 2010-11 Champions League.

* Dybala is the 5th Argentinian player to score in a UEFA Cup/Europa League final (and the first in the last 24 years), after Jorge Valdano (1985 and 1986), Diego Maradona (1989), Javier Zanetti (1998), Hernán Crespo (1999).

* There have only been 2 own goals in European finals in the last 20 years and both were for Sevilla: Romelu Lukaku (Inter) in 2020 and Gianluca Mancini (Roma) in 2023.

* Jesús Navas (Sevilla) is the oldest non-keeper player (37 years 191 days) to start in a UEFA Cup/Europa League final since David Weir for Rangers in 2008 (38 years 4 days).

* Navas is only the 3rd player (excluding goalkeepers) aged 37+ to play more than 90 minutes in a major European final, after Brazilian Toninho Cerezo (Sampdoria) and Italian Pietro Vieckowood (Juventus).

* Jesus Navas is the only one to have won both the first (2006) and the last (2023) of Sevilla's 7 UFEA Cup/Europa League trophies.

* Argentina's Erik Lamela (Sevilla) finally won the first title of his career after his teams lost all 6 of his previous finals in various club and country competitions.

  In 2013, when Lamela was playing for Roma, his team lost the Coppa Italia final to Lazio.

  As a Tottenham player, the Argentine was beaten twice in the League Cup finals: in 2015 by Chelsea and in 2021 by Manchester City, as well as in the Champions League in 2019 by Liverpool.

  Argentina also lost the Copa America twice to Chile (in 2015 and 2016) when Lamela was in their team.

* It was the third consecutive Europa League final "decided" on penalties.

* It was also the European final with the most "yellowed" footballers, 13 in total (Seville 6, Roma 7). He surpassed the previous record of 12 yellow cards in the 2014 UCL final between Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid.
