Supporters put on a show in Budapest ahead of the Europa League final
The supporters of both teams promise to be at their best in Budapest, especially since the stakes are high. Already used to this trophy, the Sevilla fans gave a “recital” many hours before the starting whistle, the atmosphere being one of celebration.
In the semi-finals of the Europa League, AS Roma knocked out Bayer Leverkusen, while Sevilla produced a surprise and knocked Juventus out of the competition.
Fan Zones were also set up for the supporters of the two teams, where they have the opportunity to feel great throughout the day.
The Europa League final can also be seen at the Stadio Olimpico
AS Roma prepared the match against Sevilla excellently, and marketing is an important chapter for the Italians, who manage to gather an impressive number of fans in Serie A even for the matches that are not so attractive.
Those who will not be at the arena in Budapest have the chance to watch the Europa League final “at home”, at the “Stadio Olimpico” arena. This would be full at the time of Wednesday’s match.
Supporters with season tickets for Serie A or Coppa Italia will pay 14 euros, while others will pay 20 euros to watch the match at Rome’s stadium. The management of the club hopes that the fans, in case the favorite team will take the trophy, will not invade the field, given that the last match of this Serie A season, the one against Spezia, is approaching.
Sevilla have won six Europa League finals
Sevilla have become a true UEFA Cup / Europa League specialist since reaching their seventh final, hoping to achieve similar success.
The excellent run began in the 2005-06 season when Middlesbrough knocked out FCSB in the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup, but then went down 4-0 to Sevilla. Roma’s rivals last won the Europa League in 2020, when they beat Inter 3-2 in a European season turned upside down by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Teams beaten by Sevilla in UEFA Cup / Europa League finals: Middlesbrough (2006), Espanyol (2007), Benfica (2014), Dnepr (2015), Liverpool (2016), Inter (2020)
