Fortune finally favours Julen Lopetegui with Sevilla's Europa League triumph

The Hindu  

Sevilla coach Julen Lopetegui enjoyed sweet redemption after his side beat Inter Milan 3-2 in a thrilling Europa League final on Friday to hand the Spaniard a first major trophy. READ: Lopetegui had been reduced to tears following those abrupt departures but on Friday he shed tears of joy in Cologne after his Sevilla side beat Inter Milan 3-2 to win the Europa League -- previously known as the UEFA Cup -- for an incredible sixth time. Homegrown hero Jesus Navas, who delivered the cross for Luuk de Jong's equaliser, lifted the trophy for a third time after playing key roles in Sevilla's first two UEFA Cup triumphs in 2006 and 2007 but missing their other three wins after leaving for Manchester City. Navas also dedicated the triumph to former Sevilla players Jose Antonio Reyes, killed in a car crash last year, and Antonio Puerta, who died of a heart attack on the pitch aged 22 in 2007.
