Ramos will now feature in colours that helped him shape his career as he continues to walk in the twilight of his career.

Sevilla has still never lost a final it has contested in the Europa League or its precursor, the UEFA Cup — the team also won the competition in 2006, ’07, ’14, ’15, ’16 and ’20 — and secured a place in next season’s Champions League.

AS Roma will face six-time champion Sevilla in UEFA Europa League final, which knocked out Juventus with a 2-1 win after extra time to prevent an all-Italian final.

Atletico had only scraped a 1-0 win over struggling Alaves in their previous fixture thanks to a late penalty save from Oblak and they again failed to offer much in attack, barely threatening Bono’s goal in the first half. To make matters worse, Atletico’s two top scorers – Luis Suarez and Llorente – both earned yellow cards which will see them suspended for next week's trip to Real Betis. Atletico captain Koke criticised the referee for not reviewing Acuna’s goal.

The striker scored his opening goal in the eighth minute and rest of his three goals came in the second half

Atletico Madrid had beaten Barcelona 1-0 last week to secure their first league success over the Catalans in a decade.

Aspas, who has spent the majority of his career at Celta and forgettable seasons with Liverpool and Sevilla, has been the top-scoring Spaniard in La Liga for three of the last four campaigns.
