After Roma's defeat to Sevilla in the Europa League final, English referee Anthony Taylor and his family were harassed by a group of Giallorossi fansat the Budapest airport. Sevilla defeated Roma on penalties to win a record-extending seventh Europa League title on Thursday. Roma manager Jose Mourinho was also seen directing a series of expletives toward Taylor in the car parking. There are several footages that emerged on social media where chairs and bottles were thrown at his family at the Budapest airport.
In the final, Taylor dished out 14 yellow cards. It is the most ever in a Europa League game and played almost 30 minutes of stoppage time in total. After the match, Mourinho said, "The referee seemed Spanish".
"It was an intense, vibrant game with a referee who seemed Spanish. It was yellow, yellow, yellow all the time," Mourinho said.
Roma and Mourinho lost on penalties to Sevilla. Mourinho gave a rousing post-match speech on the pitch before thanking the army of Roma fans who made it to Budapest. His message was one of pride, which is what he has restored at Roma, a team that has one of Italy's largest, most passionate fan bases but hasn't won many titles since being founded in 1927.
Europa League Final: The Aftermath
Mourinho's comments, and calling referee Anthony Taylor a "disgrace" in the Puskas Arena's car park for not awarding Roma a second-half penalty for handball, were lapped up by supporters who in the Portuguese manager see their representative in the dugout. The Roma fans were seen harassing Anthony Taylor and his family at the airport during their departure from Budapest. This is not passion, this is just the failure of their respective team.
The handball was controversial but still, Roma did nothing after scoring first. It was only Sevilla, Sevilla, and Sevilla all over the match. They were giving their best. The mentality was there and they clinched a European title after finishing 11th in La Liga. Sevilla will play Champions League next season and they deserved that. This is just not acceptable about the recent incidents which are affecting this beautiful game. Racial slurs, the Euro Final clash between England and Italy fans, and now this type of harassment, it's just not looking good. UEFA & FIFA have to take some strict decisions otherwise it will continue.

He is a Chelsea academy player, despite being an academy graduate of Chelsea, the Blues sold him to the Laliga side Atletico Madrid for €35 million and became one of the players with the biggest football transfers from the Premier League to La Liga.
He has seemed a perfect fit for Diego Simeone’s managed side, though he has rotated with other midfielders. Gallagher scored an important Champions League goal against Real Madrid, during a round of 16 match in which Atletico was heartbreakingly beaten on penalties.
9. Ferran Torres | Manchester City to FC Barcelona | €46 million:

Image Credit: FC Barcelona
Barcelona had seen enough from Suarez in just two and a half seasons at Liverpool to sign him for an initially reported fee of £75million. That he’d move onto bigger things was unsurprising after notching 31 goals and 13 assists in his final season in the Premier League.
Luis Suarez was one of the key players also among the biggest football transfers from the Premier League to La Liga. The Uruguayan forward scored 195 goals and assisted 113 in 283 games, in his second season at Barca, scoring a remarkable 40 La Liga goals, along with 18 assists.

Cristiano Ronaldo was undoubtedly the best move from the Premier League to La Liga in history. He broke new ground with a transfer worth approximately £80million from Manchester United. The previous world-record transfer was Zinedine Zidane to Real Madrid, which had stood for eight years.
Ronaldo was one of the most devastating forwards in the world for his entire spell at Real Madrid, scoring 450 goals and assisting 131 in 438 games.

Image Credit: Sky Sports
Eden Hazard was one of the failed transfers yet and second-placed in the list of the biggest football transfers from the Premier League to La Liga. That he never played 20 La Liga games in a single season, showed how much Hazard struggled, and he retired at just 32 years of age, having played just 10 games in his final season. The Belgian failed to match that single-season total in 76 games across his entire Real Madrid career.
1. Phillipe Coutinho | Liverpool to FC Barcelona | €142 million:

UEFA reportedly starts to develop blueprints for Russia's return in football
According to reports, UEFA has reportedly started the groundwork to initiate Russia's return to club and international football only if a ceasefire is established in Ukraine.
UEFA has not ruled out the chances of Russia returning to football competitions around the globe if a total ceasefire is agreed upon in Ukraine. This was reported by the renowned British publication 'The Independent', citing its own sources.
The UEFA bans follow the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, sparking universal international criticism, such as FIFA and UEFA's March 2022 ban of Russian teams from every football competition.
However, UEFA has reportedly opened the groundwork to facilitate Russia's return in club and international football, with growing tensions within the members in UEFA.

Next week, a UEFA congress will reportedly be held in Belgrade, and insiders say that plans are underway to bring Russian clubs and the national team back into official tournaments.
The publication states that UEFA is already formulating possible measures for restoring Russia's involvement in international football tournaments. It underlines that Russia still has immense power in world football, and there is growing pressure within UEFA on this issue.
The Independent further asserts that the main reason for the suspension of Russian teams by FIFA and UEFA after the beginning of the large-scale invasion of Ukraine was not so much moral principles as a practical necessity.

Sources suggest that 12 European football associations signaled their willingness to boycott matches against Russian clubs, with the expectation that the figure could be as high as 18. In this case, football authorities would be faced with the decision of excluding a large number of national teams or only one. The suspension of Russia was therefore motivated by "technical" considerations and not political ideology.
The article points out that UEFA and FIFA attempt to avoid suspending nations for political reasons in order to stay away from being involved in the complicated legal scenario of every international conflict.

Earlier, UEFA President Alexander Ceferin made the point about football being employed as a tool for creating peace. He said he believed that contact between children from different nations could build understanding and destroy enmities.
Meanwhile, Ceferin also spoke of a "ferocious attack by politicians," especially those on the left wing, against the suggestion that young Russian teams should be brought back in club and international football.

Back in 2023, UEFA overturned the decision that allowed Russia to return to international competitions, specifically the U-17 age group. Ukraine, England, Poland, Romania, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Finland, Sweden, Norway, Iceland, and Denmark threatened to withdraw if such a thing happens, AP reported.
🚨 UEFA has spoken out in favour of Russia returning to European competitions at youth level! 🔙🇷🇺
“UEFA no longer wants children to be punished for actions for which adults are solely responsible.”
The Independent reports that the suspension of Russia will continue to remain in effect until a complete ceasefire is reached in Ukraine.
Nevertheless, top officials at UEFA are already preparing a plan for bringing back Russian teams in the case of peace, when sport can once again be "center stage." A halt of aggression by Russia would, therefore be followed by a said normalization in the world of sport.

Here is the full match preview, head-to-head stats, predicted line-up, and fantasy XI prediction of the FC Barcelona vs CA Osasuna match of the Laliga 2024-25 at Camp Nou Stadium in Barcelona, Spain.
FC Barcelona might have some players in the tiring stage. Players like Raphinha, Lamine Yamal, Ferran Torres, and more are serving their nations in the UEFA Nations League and FIFA World Cup qualifiers and might not be 100% fit. Hansi Flick's managed side might face some issues. However, they are at the top of the table and will be looking to extend the lead and keep their place at the top.

On the other hand, CA Osasuna will be going to face an in-form side of Barcelona, and their winning percentage is too low. But the last time when they faced both FC Barcelona successfully secured a three-point over FC Barcelona. Hansi Flick's lads scored a couple of goals, but they lost because of their loose defensive technique, hope this time they will not make the same mistake.
