Jose Mourinho lamented the 'Spanish' ref he claims cost his Roma side dear after his remarkable run in European finals was ended at the hands of Sevilla.
The Portuguese boss saw his side lead at half time in the Europa League final after Paulo Dybala's crisp finish but they were pegged back after the break after Gianluca Mancini deflected a cross into his own net. A turgid extra time period followed, before the 'Sevillistas' secured a seventh crown by prevailing 4-1 on penalties.
It was Mourinho's first defeat in six UEFA competition finals, but the eccentric 60-year-old still found a way to attract the limelight afterwards. Clearly not keen to hold on to his maiden silver medal, he appeared to throw it to a young fan in the crowd before heading off down the tunnel whilst the presentations were still ongoing.
