Jose Mourinho has done it again. Roma progressed to the 2022-23 Europa League final with a 1-0 aggregate victory over Bayer Leverkusen in the last four, and will face off against competition specialists Sevilla for the trophy at the Puskas Arena in Budapest on Wednesday.
Sevilla will be favourites, but it would be a mistake to write off Roma under Mourinho, who has won all five of his previous European finals. The 60-year-old is a serial winner, and his drive for silverware remains as strong as ever.
Never one for modesty, Mourinho has even claimed he's a more complete coach now than ever before. The general consensus among supporters and pundits is that Mourinho is something of a dinosaur in the modern era, but he believes he's ageing like a fine wine.
"Better coach, better person, same DNA. The DNA is motivation, is happiness. Desire for these big moments, and these are the feelings that I try to pass to the boys," the Roma boss said last week. "I think you can be better and better with your experiences... I think your brain becomes sharper and the accumulation of knowledge is better with the years. I think you stop when you lose motivation, my motivation grows up every day... I think I am better now."
If Roma triumph in Budapest, Mourinho's legend will grow once again. But where would it rank on his list of greatest European achievements? GOAL looks at the competition below...
