Roma beat Sevilla 4-1 on penalties (1-1 after 90 and 120 minutes) and coach Jose Mourinho strongly contested several of referee Anthony Taylo’s decisions. The Portuguese did not want to leave the medal he received and gave it to a fan.

Jose Mourinho has blamed refereeing for the Europa League final defeat

The Special One said Lamela should have been sent off and believes Roma should have awarded a penalty in the 80th minute.

“We left physically and mentally exhausted, because we think the result is unfair. There were a lot of questionable episodes, so much to watch. The truth is that we are all very sad. We go home dead because of injustice.

The referee looked Spanish, he showed us so many yellow cards. And when it was necessary to give a friend to Lamela, he did not give it. And then he scored one from the penalty spot. This is a great injustice.

We won’t be playing in the Champions League next year and that’s a good thing because we’re not ready to get there yet. Let’s hope the same goes for Taylor, who’s just officiating out there and making the same shitty mistakes he did tonight.” – Jose Mourinhoquoted by AS.

After the match, Mourinho also spoke out in the stadium car park where he criticized centre-back Anthony Taylor.

Jose Mourinho presented the finalist’s medal to a child

Disappointed by the defeat, Mourinho gave the medal to the child and explained his gesture at a press conference.

“Sometimes I don’t keep my medal even when I win, so imagine what it’s like when I lose. If I had kept it, I would have forgotten it somewhere at home. Instead, I am sure that for this child it will be something that they will keep and remember” – Jose Mourinho.

Jose Mourinho does not rule out a possible departure from Roma.

“I want to stay in Rome, but I deserve more. I’m going on holiday on Monday, there’s still time until Monday to talk to the club, otherwise we’ll see later. I have to fight for these guys.

I am a serious person, I told the owners a few months ago that if I had contacts with other clubs, they would be the first to know.

I do nothing in secret, I am direct and honest. I spoke to the Portuguese Federation in December and have had no contact since then. I have one year left on my contract with Roma, this is the situation” – Jose Mourinho.
