Roma produced a display of extreme resilience to edge past Bayer Leverkusen and reach successive European finals under Jose Mourinho - setting up a Europa League final against Sevilla.
Mourinho masterminded the Italian club’s first European trophy in over 60 years as they won last season’s Conference League in his first campaign in Rome. The Giallorossi – 1-0 up from the first leg – frustrated the Bundesliga outfit throughout the encounter.
Leverkusen were the only side to threaten a goal throughout the tie and enjoyed the lion’s share of possession, but were unable to make the breakthrough against a typically well-drilled Mourinho side – who will play in next month’s final.
