Sevilla sports director Monchi: Facing Roma in final very special

Sevilla sports director Monchi is excited facing former club Roma in the Europa League final tonight.

The two teams meet in Budapest on Wednesday.

"It's a very special match. First because it's a final after a bad season, and then playing against Roma makes it even more special," said Monchi.

“The job at Sevilla is for me. At Roma I had a good season, reaching the final. The one with Sevilla is a longer journey.

“Mourinho is a top coach, he won all the finals he's taken part in. Having him is an advantage for Roma.

“I like the fact that they don't lose. When a team doesn't lose, it's because they do many good things, we will have to be good. I don't know what kind of game it will be, they know how they play. It will be difficult. The team that makes the fewest mistakes will win."
