Roma manager Jose Mourinho was seen confronting referee Anthony Taylor in the car park following his side’s defeat in the Europa League final on Wednesday.
Mourinho suffered his first loss in seven European finals after Sevilla defeated the Italian side on penalties following a 1-1 draw in normal time.

However, it was an ill-tempered affair between both sides with Taylor brandishing a total of 14 yellow cards — a record for a Europa League match.
Following the match, a video shows Mourinho swearing at the Premier League referee in the car park and calling him a “f–king disgrace.”
The Portuguese coach fumed at Taylor in his postmatch news conference for not awarding a penalty kick to Roma for a perceived handball during the second half — as well as a number of other decisions that he thought the referee mishandled.
“The referee seemed like he was Spanish,” Mourinho said. “The result was not fair and there are a lot of instances to re-examine.”
