Sevilla clinched their sixth Europa League title after an intense outing against Inter Milan in Cologne. While the contest featured five goals, one of the moments came early in the first half when an altercation occurred resulting in Antonio Conte being awarded a yellow card by the referee. 

According to Sky Italia, during the altercation which ensued as a result of Inter Milan not being awarded a penalty, Sevilla midfielder Ever Banega got into the skin of Conte by taunting about his hair.

“The fans deserve it, those who love football like we do and we have to enjoy it.
