What channel is Sevilla v Roma on? Europa League final info, TV details, kick-off time, how to watch online

Sevilla and Roma will contest an eagerly-anticipated Europa League final in Budapest as the Italians look to follow up last season’s Conference League success.

They will come up against a team who have become synonymous with UEFA’s secondary competition having won the UEFA Cup and Europa League, as it is known now, six times since the 2005/06 season when they beat Middlesbrough in the final, a year before winning the tournament again at Hampden Park against Espanyol. Something will have to give with Jose Mourinho in charge of the Italians. The Portuguese manager has never lost a European final, starting with Porto’s UEFA Cup success over Celtic in 2003.

Sevilla come into the game mid-table in La Liga. The Anadalucians were in relegation danger earlier in the season but could still finish as high as seventh with one game remaining. Roma switched their attention to winning the Europa League and are seven points off fourth in Serie A with one game left. They could finish fifth but also slip to seventh.
