For Roma fans, the Budapest final is one of the saddest memories in the club's modern history. A dream chased for an entire season turned into a nightmare in a single night . José Mourinho's army faced Sevilla, and the epilogue is remembered by everyone.
The refereeing of the match by UEFA-appointed referee Anthony Taylor sparked considerable controversy. A series of errors affected a match that would have radically changed Roma's future , as even the Special One knew, having told the referee in the stadium parking lot: "You're a disgrace." The fans also expressed their disapproval, and a chair was thrown at the Englishman at the airport.

UEFA recalls Sevilla-Roma, comments from Roma fans are immediate.
Roma are probably still paying the price for the aftermath of that final, but their fans certainly can't put that night behind them. The official UEFA Europa League Twitter account shared a photo to commemorate the final, and Roma supporters made their voices heard.
"Shame on you" and "A theft ," along with photos of Fernando's much-discussed handball, are just some of the comments that appeared under the post , along with words that cannot be repeated. The past, however, cannot be changed: Roma will try again this year with Gian Piero Gasperini. Perhaps no team deserves that trophy as much as the Roman team, which holds the record for wins, and the coach from Grugliasco is ready to repeat his triumph from two years ago.
The shame of the European and World football system, with two shameful presidents, Ceferin and Infantino, with expert referees like Collina and Rosetti, and in Italy, Rocchi. But do we want to talk about it? Football is dying, it's in the hands of global banks. All we can say is money, it's disgusting. The next World Cup will be played in San Siro, and Taylor will referee the final.
