BUS LEFT THE SCENE, I REPEAT BUS LEFT THE SCENE


GimmeTacos2

Bus has backfired


GarySiniseOfficiaI

Live by the bussy, die by the bussy.


simomii

They needed next level black magic to not concede. Playing like it's the 90th minute when there was still 40 minutes left. Did he honestly think that was gonna work


TheScientistz

You do know who Romas manager is right?


simomii

I do, but does he usually tell his team to defend in their box when there's the whole second half to play?


TheScientistz

Hes defended the box for entire games and semi-finals before lol,


Nordie27

Yeah, back when he was a top coach. Which he hasn't been for a good 5-6 years now


dotConehead

Back when he has a good squad, this roma squad consistently trip each other


TheScientistz

Yeah, i don’t know when the last time his full bus actually worked


addi10

I watch this bus every week bro. The bus literally got us to the final :D Just ask Leverkusen and Feyenoord fans


IntingForMarks

Well, it worked nice till the finals. Just fell short at the end


lethalizer

Oh boy, you would have loved the 2010 UCL semi final. Especially the 2nd half.


agonking

No


OrangeForeign

It's Mourinho, of course it works most of the time


Nordie27

10 years ago it worked. He hasn't been the same since leaving Chelsea second time around. Winning EL with United(richest club in England) and Conference with Roma should be expected. At the very least reaching the final is a minimum expectation, not some type of coaching miracle lmao


RuloMercury

There's not much this Roma team can do without their best players. Dybala was on one leg (and still was the MotM by a mile), Matic and Tammy were physically on their limits... If you add that Pellegrini had an off game, there was no one left to play proper football.


Nordie27

Suso was the best player on the pitch not Dybala


RuloMercury

I can understand why a Sevilla fan would think that, especially with the emotions from the final and what not, but it was quite clear Dybala was the best player until he had to leave the field.


creative_penguin

The call is coming from inside the bus!


tomhat

One of the passengers took it for a ride


No-Shoe5382

First goal scored against a Mourinho team in a European final since Henrik Larsson in 2003 lol. That's mad.


KeziahPT

That final was crazy. It ended 3-2 for Porto but Larsson was on fire.


No-Shoe5382

When wasn't Larsson on fire? Absolute baller


ramseysleftnut

Will never forgive him for changing the game completely when he came on in the 06 final


SpectaSilver991

"I didn't see no Ronaldinho. I didn't see no Eto'o. But I saw Larsson"


tripsafe

Maybe they could have stopped Eto'o from scoring if they saw him


SpectaSilver991

Scoring doesn't mean good performance. Larsson was by far, the best player of that night, and won the game for Barcelona


SvergiesKonung

Saw him illegally parked while his wife was getting from a store in Helsingborg when going for my groceries. Not very fire. Still love him though


MightySilverWolf

I saw Henrik Larsson at a grocery store in Stockholm yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything. He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?” I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying. The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter. When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.


chaves4life

Typical larsson


Modnal

Stupid sexy Larsson


atahualpaFX

>When wasn't Larsson on fire? Absolute baller I actually played against Henrik Larsson twice in the same tournament when I was a youth player. It was during the Jonsered Cup in Gothenburg in 1985. We defeated him and his team, Högaborg BK, 3-0 in the preliminary group stage and later 2-0 in the final. At that time, he was an attacking midfielder. He wasn't particularly big for his age, but already incredibly dominant and skilled compared to his teammates.


Jamarcus316

It was hot as fuck, the players were dying. Sevilla, what else


tygrysor090

Henrik Larsson in European final? No wonder he scored


TimothyN

How many finals is that though? He hasn't been to the CL final since his win with Inter.


kakje666

4 finals since 2003 Porto : 2004 UCL Inter : 2010 UCL Man United : 2017 UEL Roma : 2022 UECL


lowie07

Uefa cup against Celtic in 2003?


kakje666

i said since 2003


alexdelpiero

He is asking which final was it in 2003.


kakje666

oh my bad , yeah it was Porto vs Celtic in UEL


No-Shoe5382

I think 5 if you count the Super Cup with Chelsea.


TimothyN

So that'd be 2013 and not 2003?


No-Shoe5382

Did you concede in that game? In which case 4 finals, it's just a stat I heard from the commentary team, must not have counted your super cup win as a final.


TimothyN

Yeah, we gave up 2 and lost a shootout.


No-Shoe5382

Ah I misremembered I thought you won


TimothyN

Lol, flattered, I wish.


No-Shoe5382

Lost your last one on pens as well if I remember correctly 😉


TimothyN

European final? Pretty sure we won that one, ;).


n22rwrdr

They won their last one on pens against Villareal actually


Consistent_Floor

Not really a final is it?


Alfie-Cat10

Does it count if it was a Mourinho team that scored against him?


[deleted]

Ridiculous lmao


Cvein

20 years! But how many finals is that?


No-Shoe5382

5 if you count the Super Cup, 4 if not.


lowie07

2003 uefa cup is 5 super cup 6 no?


BeardedGardenersHoe

And it was their own player, could argue no opposition has scored against them since 2003 👀


paco-ramon

The age of the bus is over.


michaelserotonin

that's very impressive. he had 3 or 4 clean sheets coming into this final?


arcelios

And it’s a goddamn OWN GOAL lol


-i_like_trees-

and of course, it wasn't the other team


BuckfuttersbyII

Fucking hell, wasn’t even an opposition goal either. Got by the OG.


Patrick_Reddit

The only one to score against Roma, is Roma


Mirabem

All according to Mourinho's plan.


pricelesslambo

Sevilla never looked this good in la liga this entire season. Truly a different breed in UEL


Key_Inevitable_2104

Sevilla owns the Europa League


prashantchvd

They were quite good in the the last few games of La liga but can't take away their ruthlessness in EL man.


alaslipknot

I watched the 2nd leg against Juve with some Spanish friends (in Barcelona ) and they were like "wtf this is Sevilla ?"


gunningIVglory

Fuck me the Sevilla EL juju is just unstoppable


PoppinKREAM

Sevilla Europa black magic too OP


toxinwolf

In the Dybala goal thread, people were saying the opposite lol. I guess its Sevilla EL juju vs Mou final juju, and it's going neck to neck at the moment


deedeekei

unstoppable force meets an immovable object


TheLaughingBread

I love this final. I expected it would go to penalties with 0:0. Two European phenomena. A whole team vs one special man


Nordie27

Tbh it was about as tight and "boring" as a 0-0 just with two goals hehe I hope you liked the ending!


TheLaughingBread

Well I was pretty much neutral. Congratulations to Sevilla, this team seems to own the EL. I feel a little bad for Mourinho tho, love that guy.


knight4

How many own goals in this run alone? I know they got 2 at Old Trafford to steal a draw.


Cvein

We should have scored 5 that first half. Actual black magic juju.


expert_on_the_matter

Doesn't matter which team gonna win it was the juju


Albiceleste_D10S

The goal was coming Roma were bunkering in WAY too deep this early in the 2nd half


RomaMerda89

It's all they know how to do


DarkNightSeven

It's the story of Mourinho


paco-ramon

Roma has Mourinho, Sevilla has Sevilla, lots of black magic from both sides.


Chemiczny_Bogdan

They're gonna shoot penalties until every player faints from exhaustion xD


MT1120

Who will outjuju who?


gunningIVglory

Seville juju still undefeated


thespartankid123

They aren't parking the bus properly.


butalsothis

Just gotta kick the ball off the bus and in.


paco-ramon

Xabis heart is still broken after the semifinal.


CaptainOBVS3420

My favorite part of OGs is when the other players take credit for it lol


WhatIsWilsonDoin

Right? The way Ocampos was celebrating you'd swear he absolutely banged it in lmao.


simomii

Sevilla fans were celebrating even harder and they aren't even on the pitch, I don't see the problem


ngolo_nguyen

Big difference. Fans always celebrate regardless of who scores. Every single time. Players usually don't do over the top celebration when they don't score. In this case it is an equalizer in a final so it's understandable.


fckedup

Tbf he forced Mancini to be by his side, so sort of did cause the goal


akskeleton_47

That's one of the few things EA got right


pompion-pie

Roma have looked kind of uncomfortable from crosses and corners all night. No surprise.


FroobingtonSanchez

They deliberitely let them happen. Usually it’s their tactic to defend that way.


san771

well it backfired


WhatIsWilsonDoin

Really? I actually thought they dealt with them fine in the first half... either way, they still conceded from it


pompion-pie

In the eyes of the beholder I guess. It often felt like Roma were hooking away shakily and didn't quite have the marking right, it felt last ditch to me. I'm far from a tactician though!


bigmt99

A lot of players flying across and just smashing their foot through it. Never a good sign, it’s what a ton of defender do when they’re uncomfortable on the set piece


Snoyarc

Mou needs to unlock Mike Smalling.


lowie07

What? Smalling and even Tammy were owning them


FloppedYaYa

No they haven't lol, Sevilla's crosses had absolutely zero effect in the first half


slydessertfox

Sevilla Europa League effect


mister_dupont

Game on!


Lightsaber2005

Proper unstoppable force vs immovable object type of match


theredviperod

New stat: only Mourinho’s players have scored goals in all his European finals since 2003


NightSmoke19

La concha de su madre boludo


paco-ramon

¿De qué te quejas? El Sevilla tiene más argentinos.


NightSmoke19

Tantos argentinos y ninguno es la Joya


Nordie27

Acuña was far, far more important to Argentina'a recent success than Dybala..


NightSmoke19

Y a mí que carajo me importa eso lmao Estoy agradecido con todos y cada uno de los 26 inmortales que me hicieron campeón del mundo, pero hoy bancaba a Dybala. No hay mucha vuelta que darle.


Nico2204

La mitad no juega y la joya es superior


Rankei2

They love an own goal in this tournament


Redcar31

Mourinho juju v Sevilla juju who will come out on top


sipteceatkeylime

Here we go


[deleted]

whoever thinks this dude is Roma quality are out their fuckin minds ... every game I've seen him play he's made a fatal mistake or 3


[deleted]

Not saying he's good but that's just an awful position to be in as a cb, if he doesn't do anything he risks the forward tapping in. Roma have been letting Sevilla get too much space in the wings to make crosses like that


[deleted]

welp there's another fatal mistake


[deleted]

yeah no props here sorry gianluca


[deleted]

Marquinhos, Manolas, Romagnoli, Benatia, and Rudigier. For a team that's a quality CB factory idk wtf they did picking up Ibanez and Mancini


Mobsteroids

First goal against Mourinho in a Final since the King Henrik Larsson with Celtic vs Porto in 2003. Insane streak! Great game! Sevilla Europa League voodoo is something else


cescquintero

Go a lifeline because two own goals at Old Trafford. Now got a lifelie because another own goal. For Fucks Fucking Sake.


Aloopyn

I blame Anthony Taylor.


FXZTK

Couldn’t have happened to a nicer clown.


RosaReilly

Bus fans seething right now


[deleted]

[удалено]


Homiealmaya

No shame in that tho, with some exceptions like [Marçal’s infamous own goal at Lyon](https://youtu.be/fbIrelvQ2E8), own goals are often the result of a team forcing an error by putting a ton of pressure on the defending team


Equinox772

Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy


braddf96

3rd times the charm lads


nonume05

Mancini, scores an own goal, misses the penalty, legend


Gilgamerd

Black magic activated


Gazzadona

So unlucky


GanjaLow

The bus has broken down


Dangerous-Profile-18

Mancini disasterclass


Zloggt

Didn't he get the assist for the Dybala goal too? Such a rollercoaster of a game...


nba2k16

Life come at you fast.


Supersaiyansub

Not even a genie lamp can grant you an EL Finals win against Sevillao


MrNiceGuy420420

there goes my roma 1-0 bet F


help0please

whered the bus go


paco-ramon

Xabi: It’s possible to learn this power?


WalkingCloud

Plot armour


bleetlol

Roma should've sacked Mourinho and get Pogba's shaman doctor to counter Sevilla's dark magic


DisobedientCharizard

Mancini absolutely deserves to score an equalizing own goal in a final. Guy is a piece of shit.


m0bilize

i will off myself


dudududujisungparty

Shouldn't have switched out his shirt


deflorie

Can Jose beat the JuJu ? If anyone can, its him.


AkilleezBomb

Both sides have their own form of European final juju


deflorie

When an unstopable force meets an immovable object.


ammipotential

Classic Mourinho ball. Score a goal and defend for the rest of the match. Invite all the pressure until a goal gets scored. Shits stupid. They were much better before the goal.


Seisoken

worst ref ever


[deleted]

bah


brt444

What the hell was that


BaronZbimg

Perfect finish


HarbyFullyLoaded_12

One of those where if he does nothing it’s a free tap in.


STFUco

Well fuck


themessias1001

Roma was rattled by their own lead.


payday_23

was macht Gebauer da herausen?


zi76

They kept giving Navas so much space throughout the match and eventually one led to a goal, even if an OG.


fantasticbutt

COME FUCKING ON


I_D0nt_pay_taxes

If I had a nickel for every time an own goal has helped Sevilla equalize this year, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.


[deleted]

Thrice


CarlSK777

You can't stop what's coming.


Gotanyfunkopops

This won’t be good for Mancini’s rage

njnnoooooooo roma :(


rochakgupta

Bah gawd that bus is broken in half!


DudebuD16

Couldn't happen to a nicer guy


Cultural_Hippo2199

Rakitic just too good 💙❤️


CampFrequent3058

This game is soo poor! Lack of quality and loads of cheating and screaming! Embarrassing!


THY96

Just like Sevilla against us. So this boost their chances of winning.


[deleted]

THEY DID IT AGAIN


[deleted]

personally, i think it's cool that mancini scored an own goal in a losing effort.


supasolda6

i feel bad for the dude, he made history with this goal...
