Roma vs Sevilla: Europa League Final Recap

00:00:14
Speaker
So it's heartbreak for Roma who lose the Europa League final on a penalty shootout to Sevilla, but in my opinion, Carlo, I think Roma were the better side and didn't deserve to lose.
00:00:23
Speaker
Oh, absolutely. I find it incredible the number of people that are actually saying with a straight face that Sevilla deserved to win this final. I don't know what match they were watching because Roma had four clear chances in this game, only scored one.

Did Roma Deserve to Win?

00:00:37
Speaker
Sevilla didn't have a single clear chance in 150 minutes if you include all the injury time that was played. All they had was a long shot that hit the post from Rakitic and they scored with an own goal.

VAR Criticism and Penalty Rules Debate

00:01:47
Speaker
I think the two penalty or the three penalty situations, I think the VAR got right, saving Anthony Taylor.
00:01:54
Speaker
But Eric LaMela should have been sent off for two bookable offences and I don't understand why he wasn't, especially given the sheer amount of yellow cards that Taylor was showing to pretty much every single Roma player there and on the bench. And also the encroachment rule with the goalkeepers on penalty shootouts, that is just, that needs to be changed.
