Ticketless Roma fans are seen sneaking into the Puskas Arena for their Europa League final defeat

Roma fans were spotted entering Budapest’s Puskas Arena without tickets, having cheated the system ahead of Wednesday’s Europa League final.

There were Roma fans pushing their way through the turnstiles to access the stadium – which has a maximum capacity of 67,000.

They manipulated the system by grouping together and pushing through the barriers after the person in front scanned their ticket.

Therefore, two fans entered the stadium every time a ticket was scanned – meaning that the maximum capacity for the stadium was most likely exceeded.

The number of Roma fans crowded behind the goal could be seen as the TV cameras panned around the stadium during the match.

The Roma fans hoped that Jose Mourinho’s side would emerge victorious from the Europa League with Sevilla.

However, Sevilla secured a record-extending seventh Europa League title after beating Roma 4–1 on penalties at the Puskas Arena.

As a result, Mourinho suffered his first defeat in a European final – having won all five of his previous encounters.

Paulo Dybala opened the scoring for Roma in the first half, but his goal was canceled out by an unfortunate own goal from Gianluca Mancini.

The game became extremely heated and more yellow cards were handed out to those on the bench and technical room than on the pitch.

After taking offense at several of Taylor’s decisions, Mourinho himself was booked – and his anger towards the referee continued in his post-match interviews.

A certain moment of controversy forced the Roma bench back on its feet, with a potential Fernando handball not given in the closing stages of normal time.

The Roma fans showed flares as they watched Jose Mourinho’s men in action

A Nemanja Matic cross certainly made contact with the midfielder’s arm, as shown in replays, but his hands were believed to be in a natural position.

Furious at the decision, Mourinho went on a rampage after the match, saying ‘F***ing shame man, it’s a shame’.

The Portuguese manager added: “Congratulations, damn shame,” before trudging to the team bus.

Nevertheless, Sevilla won the match 4–1 on penalties after Gonzalo Montiel scored the decisive penalty at Budapest’s Puskas Arena.
