Inter Milan restored the parity through, Diego Godin, but the Spanish side took the lead for the second time after Romelu Lukaku diverted Diego Carlos’ overhead kick into his own net.
While reacting to the result, Oliseh said Sevilla were tactically superior to their Italian counterparts and Julen Lopetegui’s side deserved to win the tie.
“6 finals,6 Europa Liga titles. Sevilla showed superior tactical, technical & physical strength, they deserve the trophy. Sevilla decisively made use of space & denied it to Inter Milan in certain areas. Congrats to Coach Lopetegui who shed uncontrollable tears of joy. Great Final!” he said.
