Six in six for Sevilla

• Sevilla have a perfect record in UEFA Cup/UEFA Europa League finals: six games, six wins. 
• De Jong is the 12th player to score two goals in a one-off UEFA Europa League/UEFA Cup final. Nobody has registered a hattrick. 
• Lukaku scored for the 11th UEFA Europa League game running, extending his all-time competition record. 
• Sevilla centre-back Diego Carlos conceded penalties in the quarterfinals, semifinals and final.

Julen Lopetegui said he does not look back at what might have been with Spain and Real Madrid after leading Sevilla to a sixth Europa League title thanks to a 3-2 win over Inter Milan in Cologne.

Lopetegui was sacked as Spain boss days before the start of the 2018 World Cup for accepting the role as Madrid coach and then also fired by Real just four months later.

But in his first season in Seville, the former Madrid and Barcelona goalkeeper has restored his reputation with a fourth-placed finish in La Liga and seeing off European giants Inter, Manchester United and Roma in the latter stages of the Europa League.

"Fortunately I don't look back," said Lopetegui. "I have the luck to be in a club that has given me this chance to be with a real team with everything that word means."

By contrast, Inter coach Antonio Conte suggested his time in Milan might be over after just one season despite finishing second in Serie A and leading the Italians to a first European final in 10 years.

"It is only right that we analyse the entire season, look at everything in a very calm way and try to plan the future of Inter, whether it's with or without me," said Conte. "This year will always have a place in my heart, it's been such a strange year and exhausting year. It's been a worthwhile and incredible experience."

The outcome could have been very different had match winner Diego Carlos been sent off inside three minutes for hauling down Romelu Lukaku in the area. Carlos was only shown a yellow card before Lukaku slotted home his 34th goal of the season to equal his idol Ronaldo's record in his first season at Inter, which ended in the club's last UEFA Cup win 1997/98.

Luuk De Jong hit form at the right time as he powered home from Jesus Navas's cross and then looped another header into the far corner from Ever Banega's free-kick to turn the game around.

"I dedicate this to the Sevilla fans," said De Jong. "I got the feeling, even in the group stages, how important this cup is for them and we knew if we win this trophy if it also for them."
