May 31, 2023 | 3:29 PM

BUDAPEST, Hungary (AP) — Five months after scoring the winning penalty in the World Cup final, Gonzalo Montiel converted the clinching spot kick in the Europa League final to earn Sevilla a seventh title in the competition at the expense of Jose Mourinho’s Roma on Wednesday.

The Argentina international’s penalty sealed a 4-1 win in the shootout for Sevilla after the match finished 1-1 after extra time in Budapest, where Mourinho was looking to maintain his record of having never lost a final in European competitions.

Gianluca Mancini and Roger Ibanez failed to convert for Roma from the spot.

Sevilla has never lost a Europa League final.

It was the first loss for Mourinho in a European final after five victories.
