Tonight in Budapest, somebodys 0 has got to go.
Two decades have passed since Jose Mourinho first won a European trophy, leading Porto to UEFA Cup glory in 2003. Now, 20 years on, the Portuguese can land a sixth piece of European silverware when Roma meet Sevilla.
Mourinhos record in previous finals is: played five, won five.
The most recent came last year when Roma won the inaugural Europa Conference League and Mourinho became the first coach to complete a clean sweep of Europes current competitions. To mark that slice of history, the 60-year-old had the Conference League trophy tattooed on to his arm.
The problem for Roma and Mourinho is that the Europa League has long been imprinted on to the soul of Sevilla.
