Sevilla midfielder Lamela: I love Mourinho and he loves me

Sevilla midfielder Erik Lamela admits their Europa League final against AS Roma will be emotional.

Lamela is a former Roma player and played for their coach Jose Mourinho at Tottenham.

He said, "I left many friends in Rome, I keep hearing from them. Before the semi-finals, with some of them, we had barely entered the conversation.

"Now let's think about winning the final and then we'll talk about it again. It will be a special, difficult and complicated match. Mourinho has made Roma even stronger. Good person, great coach.

"I love him and he loves me too. The relationship with José has always been beautiful. During the time we worked together I felt good. We and they will go to Budapest with the same idea, to win."
