Nikolaev, former FIFA referee: “All of Taylor’s decisions in the Europa League final were reasonable. I wouldn’t say Roma should be upset about something.”

Former FIFA referee Alexey Nikolaev told that all decisions by British referee Anthony Taylor, who served in the Europa League final between Sevilla and Roma, were reasonable, the Italian team and its supporters have no reason to be unhappy.

Roma lost to Sevilla on Wednesday (1-1, 4-1 on penalties) in the final of the tournament. Taylor for the match showed the players 13 yellow cards and also warned Roman club coach Jose Mourinho. At Budapest airport, the referee and his family ran into Roma fans who insulted him.

– This story does not paint Roma fans. It is clear that it is very difficult to judge the match between the Spaniards and the Italians. It’s always emotions, heightened interest. In terms of the game, I wouldn’t say Roma have to be unhappy with anything. But it’s a question of emotion. Mourinho is very upset about losing, but his emotions don’t paint the whole picture either. I’m sure they also negatively influenced Roma fans.

– Everyone is always worried about the moment with the hand in the Sevilla penalty area.

– All Taylor’s decisions are reasonable and within the rules of the game. In the moment with Fernando’s hand, the right decision was made, Nikolaev told .
