So close, yet so far. One hundred and twenty grueling minutes and to fall in such a manner. The feeling of going down in penalties after a hard fought match sometimes just doesn't seem just, but that's just how the game unfolds sometimes. The Roma Fedayn flooded the streets of Brooklyn to watch their beloved I Giallorossi in all forms of carmine yellow and red, in search of a Mourinho-driven Europa League title and what hopes to be a prolonged position as manager.
Paulo Dybala's first half finish sent Keste Pizzeria into eruption, and halftime surely seemed like Roma had it in the bag. An early second half goal from Sevilla puts the Roma ultras on their toes for the entirety of the match. If you watched the match for yourself then you know how the rest goes, and it's no cinderella story.
Despite the result in penalties and the bittersweet ending to what could've been a paramount celebration - cheers to Keste for the atmosphere, the amazing food (Mozzarella & Prosciutto Pizza), the emotions and the ability to bring a community of diehard football fans together. Unico Grande Amore!
