On August 21, 2020, Sevilla claimed their record-extending sixth Europa League title with a thrilling 3-2 victory over Inter Milan.

Inter Milan's Romelu Lukaku, who had set the longest scoring run by a player in UEFA Cup/Europa League history, equalled former Brazil striker Ronaldo's club record of 34 goals for Inter in a season in all competitions.

However, Lukaku's first season at Inter ended in disappointment as he scored an own goal in the 74th minute, deflecting an overhead kick by Sevilla's defender Diego Carlos into the roof of the net.

The Dutchman, Steven De Jong, who came off the bench to score Sevilla's winner in a 2-1 semi-final win over Manchester United, showed his predatory instinct again with a pair of headers which turned the tide.

Sevilla's coach, Julen Lopetegui, won his first trophy as coach at senior level after a torrid period which saw him sacked by Spain and Real Madrid.
