Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti has wished Jose Luis Mendilibar success in the Europa League final.
Sevilla, beaten by Real Madrid yesterday, will face Roma in the final.
Ancelotti said, "I wished Mendilibar all the best for the Europa League final.
"I've had a conflict of interests because I was captain of Roma in the 70s. On Monday we'll be celebrating the league forty years later.
"I'm a bit of a Roma fan, but I want the best team to win. Mourinho is truly a great friend of mine and my heart has a closer connection with Roma than it does with Sevilla."

This is a Sevilla competition, like we would say UCL is a RM competition. But if there is a team/person that would really put Sevilla in trouble in their competition it's Mourinho, bcos Mourinho is good in finals. Just like RM winning a UCL final vs Messi/Barca wouldn't be straightforward. So it will be a tough one for Sevilla. But they do have history on their side, or the Europa League "gods" on their side.
