Roma reserves celebrated wildly after Paulo Dybala scored the opener in the Europa League Final against Sevilla, but José Mourinho told his players to return to the bench because ‘the game is still long.’
The Giallorossi took the lead at minute 34 at the Puskas Arena in Budapest through La Joya. The Argentina World Cup winner received a through ball from Gianluca Mancini and a perfect first touch helped him set up a deadly left-foot finish.
However, Mourinho didn’t look impressed and urged Roma reserves to return to the bench. The Special One didn’t seem cheerful and according to DAZN’s pitchside reporter Tommaso Turci he told his players to sit down because ‘the game is still long.’
Mourinho continued arguing with Roma players on the bench at minute 45. Turci said the Giallorossi boss was unhappy with the atmosphere on the touchline, believing there was too much tension, so he reiterated his players had to sit down.
