Sevilla 0-0 Roma LIVE! Europa League Final match stream, latest score and goal updates today
[ad_1]
The Europa League final takes place tonight against the most successful team in the competition’s history and one of the most successful managers to grace the sport as Sevilla test their fine final record against Jose Mourinho’s Roma.
Los Rojiblancos are remarkably in their seventh Europa League final, having won all previous six, and have knocked out the likes of Manchester United and Juventus en route.

Both clubs need to win to qualify for the Champions League, and you can follow the game LIVE below with our dedicated match blog.
Live updates
19min: Sevilla not showing too much threat quite yet, going for the odd long ball which Roma are easily taking care of.
16min: Another stoppage as Telles and Celik battle for the same ball and the latter comes off worse.
He should be alright.
13min: Roma are not messing around, which is pretty unlike Mourinho you have to say.
Spinazzola should have done better there, and his team continue to enjoy plenty of possession.
CHANCE!
11min: Best chance of the game as Dybala finds Spinazolla unmarked inside the area, but his shot is too close to Bono.
Big chance.
8min: An early ouchie for Dybala as he tries to get the ball off of Gil but only gets his toe trodden on instead.
7min: A pause in play as Rakitic goes to take a corner but is pelted by objects from the nearby Roma fans. Nice bunch, then.
The corner is then sent in and a thumping Abraham header clears.
4min: Gudeli will be fine as Sevilla launch their first chance, Navas sending an early cross into the box but Roma deal with it quite easily.
A fast pace to his game.
2min: First chance to Roma as they win an early corner. Pellegrini whips it in, but Gudelj heads clear.
The defender looks to have hurt himself in the process.
Kick-off!
1min: Here we go!
You honestly can’t separate these two teams. Our match preview writer did, though, and has predicted a 1-0 win for Sevilla.
Me? I have a feeling Mourinho might do it, and probably by the same scoreline.
