In a press conference, Mourinho told newsmen: "For them (Sevilla), playing in a Europa League final is almost normal, for us it is an extraordinary event,.For Sevilla fans, travelling to a European final is like travelling to a game in Spain; for us, however, it is something historic. So we want to make history."

"History doesn't play the game but history makes them the favourites, we respect it. They have the experience that we don't have, but we deserve to play this final, we have been saying that for a long time," he concluded.

Neither Sevilla nor Mourinho have lost an Europen final with the being the only coach to have won all the European club competitions.
