Watch: Roma's Dybala makes mark in UEL final with slick goal
Instead of playing a reduced role in the Europa League final, Paulo Dybala starred for Roma in a losing effort against Sevilla.
After Roma boss Jose Mourinho said Dybala would only play 20-30 minutes due to an ankle injury, the Argentine surprisingly started the game and helped bring the match to life with a slick goal in the 35th minute after getting on the end of Gianluca Mancini's perfect through ball.

Sevilla ended up winning the contest on penalties to capture their record-extending seventh Europa League title.
