Sevilla defeat Inter Milan 3-2 won Sixth time Europa League Final 2020, match Stats.
Europa League kings Sevilla won the tournament for a record sixth time thanks to victory over Inter Milan in a thrilling final in Cologne.
The drama started when Sevilla defender Diego Carlos fouled Romelu Lukaku for an Inter penalty - and ended when Lukaku deflected Carlos' bicycle kick into his own net.
It was a first trophy in the managerial career of Sevilla boss Julen Lopetegui, whose side are unbeaten since February, a run of 21 games.
The last nine Europa Leagues all have been won by Spanish or English teams - Sevilla have won four, Chelsea two and Atletico Madrid and Manchester United one each. The last Italian team to win were Parma in 1999.
Sevilla's excellent record of never losing a Uefa Cup or Europa League final continues - six finals, six victories. But this was a new Sevilla team - with barely anybody left since their three wins in a row from 2014 to 2016.
