Again I lost the bet in the game with Sevilla, usually whenever I bet on a match in which one team is playing against Sevilla I lose the beat and I think that's mostly because Sevilla is an unpredictable team and I usually expect to see them losing the match while they are now the Europa League champion even after the poor performance we saw from this team and inexperienced and infamous coach they have.
I bet on AS Roma, but chose the 0:0 handicap option with odds @1.78. so, I didn't lose this bet. because, the match ended in a draw within 90 minutes of normal time. based on my point of view, the two teams did not display a very impressive game as befits a final match. in this match there was a lot of drama, even the referee tended to be one-sided which in the end drew protests from Jose Mourinho and the AS Roma fans. even though, in fact they shouldn't protest excessively.
In that match, the two teams played as if they had no mission and rhythm of the game. Sevilla with their spartan game, while AS Roma played like a team without a pattern, especially after Dybala was withdrawn due to injury. which in the end, the match took place in a penalty shoot-out. unlucky for AS Roma, and once again Sevilla is really a very lucky team. not because they have experience in this competition, but more luck on their side.
This time even after I lost the bet I'm not unhappy because I'm sure Roma could win this game and the only reason Sevilla won the game was because I was unlucky and the referee had some mistakes.
Roma and Mou played with their classic tactics in this match. Frankly, I thought they would win the match when they scored the first goal, but Sevilla players shot very effectively from outside the penalty area. As a matter of fact, the shot taken by Rakitic from outside the penalty area in the 43rd minute was one of them. I think Roma pulled back as a team after scoring and gave encouragement to Sevilla. Mou's classic tactic didn't work this time and Sevilla won the cup. Sevilla did not perform well overall this season, but as they won this trophy, they will play in the Champions League next season. They started the season like a nightmare but finished like a dream.
I do agree 100% that Roma should have won and the ref basically gave the game to Sevilla without a doubt. It was a very very clear situation and Roma was robbed a title, there is absolutely nothing wrong with what Mourinho did, he was 100% right, I do not know if there is anything I am not aware of, but all the things he has done is a protest and I agree with them 100%.
How many times can you say that an Europa cup final was decided by a ref this clearly? Even in the most extreme examples we end up seeing just a few situations and positions, this one was basically just arranged, I bet that there could be some betting or bribery going on as well, it should be investigated very clearly. I doubt that this was a clean game, and Mourinho should come out and just bash Uefa as much as he possibly can.
If you ask me I'm sure the referee had some mistakes but Roma had to play better than this and even the mistakes from the referee won't affect the result of the match but Roma failed and that's not something up to the referee.
