In response to Taylor's refereeing performance, Mourinho, in a video that has now gone viral, walks up to the referee in the stadium's underground parking garage. The former Chelsea and Real Madrid boss can be heard hurling insults at Taylor.

Taylor demanded a retake in the penalty shootout, a decision made by VAR - which allowed Sevilla's Gonzalo Montiel to put away the winning penalty.

The Argentine defender had missed his original attempt but Roma goalkeeper Rui Patricio had stepped off his line, offering Montiel a reprieve.

Mourinho's comments 

Mourinho was also adamant that Erik Lamela, who scored his penalty, should've been sent-off before the shootout as he accused Taylor of appearing to be Spanish.

“It was an intense, masculine, vibrant game with a referee who seemed Spanish. It was yellow, yellow, yellow all the time. The injustice is shown by the fact Lamela should’ve had a second yellow, he didn’t, and he converted a penalty in the shoot-out.”
