Roma defender Diego Llorente supported his manager, adding: «Today in all the dubious episodes , yellow cards… the referee whistled in favor of Sevilla.

«I'm surprised because he is an international referee with an excellent reputation.»

It is noteworthy that after the match, Mourinho stated that he was «never so proud» of his team, because «we did not lose dignity» — despite the fact that he received nine warnings, as well as one for Mourinho himself.

< p>'I' I've won five European finals over the years and in this case I'm as proud as the five times I've won,” Mourinho said. “I am proud of the players. I told them before that either we'll leave with a cup or we'll be dead on our feet.

“We're leaving dead on our feet. The players are completely exhausted, as am I, both physically and psychologically.

“We felt the pressure against a team that has more talent than us. We lost the game, but not with dignity. I have never come home with more pride than today, even when I won.

«We also worked hard on penalties, but missed two — but all together, not just penalties.

“The boys should return home peacefully, proud of what they have done. These are my boys from Budapest.”
