Sevilla deserve to win based solely on their amazing support. Is there a better atmosphere in Europe? Great catchy chants, so much passion and desire. A real fiesta.

Such a contrast to the soulless stadiums of the EPL. A lot of the big UCL games this season also had terrible atmospheres.

Final tonight. Mourinho has won all his European finals (5/5) whereas Sevilla have won all their Europa League finals (7/7). One run is getting shattered.

I hope Sevilla wins
I'm not against AS Roma, far from it, but I'm against Mou's way of interpreting football (for me horrible, outdated and coward).
For me (in any sport) it's not just a question of winning, but HOW I win I value extremely highly.
For example winning the CL like Chelsea won in 2012, I don't give a damn

Looking at this final should be a warning, along with what Barca has experienced over the last 2 seasons in the Europa, about how much of a nightmare this competition is for big clubs to fall in to.

When a big club falls in to the Europa it gives a chance for second tier clubs to make a name for themselves and there are a queue of clubs whose fanbases who make sure they don't miss that opportunity. We already saw that with Eintracht, explicitly, but United's game Vs Barca was also their best atmosphere of the season.

Sevilla, Roma have great passion for this competition in their fanbases. Add to them Feyenoord, Rangers and more and you can only conclude that whilst the Champions League is the completion of prestige, the Europa is the competition of passion.

Cl is boring nowadays. Its just the money tournament. I like the conference league more weirdly enough.
Fiorentina vs West ham is more fun than City vs Madrid or Inter.
