STORY: Sevilla players and fans continued the celebration on arrival at the team hotel after beating Inter Milan 3-2 in a thrilling Europa League final on Friday (August 21) in Germany.

Homegrown hero Jesus Navas, who delivered the cross for Luuk de Jong's equaliser, lifted the trophy for a third time after playing key roles in Sevilla's first two UEFA Cup triumphs in 2006 and 2007 but missing their other three wins after leaving for Manchester City.

Navas dedicated the triumph to former Sevilla players Jose Antonio Reyes, killed in a car crash last year, and Antonio Puerta, who died of a heart attack on the pitch aged 22 in 2007.

Argentine midfielder Ever Banega, who had a disappointing season with Inter in 2016-17, also got an assist and won the trophy for the third time in his final match for the club before joining Saudi Arabian side Al-Shabab.

The final was played behind closed doors due to continued coronavirus restrictions but two Sevilla season ticket holders got to watch the match in the stadium as the club included them in their list of 25 accredited individuals.

The gesture was another sign of the special bond between Sevilla and the Europa League, which was summed up by a banner displayed in the team's dressing room in Cologne: "No-one loves it like we do."
