| Spanish top flight Club Sevilla defeated Italian club Inter Milan 3-2 in the UEFA Europa League Final in Köln, Germany on Friday to lift the trophy for the sixth time |
There's just something about Sevilla and the UEFA Europa League.
Sevilla won its record sixth Europa League title, edging Inter Milan, 3-2, in a wild final in Cologne, Germany on Friday.
Inter and Sevilla traded two goals apiece in a breakneck first half, with Romelu Lukaku's penalty, Luuk de Jong's double and Diego Godin's header making it 2-2 after just 35 minutes.
Sevilla pulled in front in the 74th, with Lukaku redirecting Diego Carlos's overhead kick into his own net for the decisive goal.

It was an ironic ending, considering Lukaku had opened the scoring five minutes in on a penalty conceded by Diego Carlos.🤝 | WELL PLAYED— Inter (@Inter_en) August 21, 2020

Neither Inter nor Sevilla had to worry about needing to win to secure a place in next season's Champions League after both took care of that through their domestic league finishes (Inter second in Serie A, Sevilla fourth in La Liga).
Sevilla have now clinched the Europa League six times ⬇
Inter, which won the UEFA Cup (the competition's previous incarnation) in 1991, 1994 and 1998, could have inched closer to Sevilla's total with a victory on Friday.⚪️🔴 Sevilla love this competition!— UEFA Europa League (@EuropaLeague) August 21, 2020
