Paulo Dybala wants to lift another cup: “It would be nice to make history with Roma”

Paul Dybala he recovered just in time. The Argentine was doubtful for the Europa League final between Rome and Sevilla this Wednesday in Budapest, but he trained alongside the group, now better than his ankle problem, and placed himself at José Mourinho’s disposal to be present in the decisive match of the second most important European tournament at club level. “Winning would be something gigantic. It would be fantastic to write history for this club. Like Sevilla, Mourinho are yet to lose a final in Europe. Let’s hope the Spaniards’ record ends this Wednesday.”Paulo told Kicker magazine. Well yes, the Jewel is aiming for another Cup after the world title won with the Argentine national team in Qatar.

Dybala did not want to miss this final, in which he will face a Sevilla full of Argentines (Gonzalo Montiel, Papu Gómez, Lucas Ocampos, Erik Lamela and the suspended Marcos Acuña) because he knows it is a historic event for Roma. In its entire history, the Italian club has won only two international titles: the missing Inter-Cities Fairs Cup in 1961 and the brand new Conference League in 2022. In the Europa League they reached the final in 1991 but fell to Inter Milan while in the Champions League they finished as runners-up once, in 1984 when they lost on penalties to Liverpool.

For the Argentinian it will be his second international final after the defeat against Juventus in the decisive match of the Champions League in 2017. “That final against Real Madrid still hurts me because in life you can only have one chance to win the Champions League. With Juve I won many titles but I still regret that defeat.”contacted.

That’s his secret. Everyone feels important and gets the something more from themselves.For him, the defensive system against Leverkusen is football. Mou is a master at that and he’s a character you either love or hate, huh.”
