Sevilla were crowned Europa League champions for a record-extending sixth time after a thrilling 3-2 victory over Inter Milan in Cologne
In a breathless conclusion to Europe's second-tier competition, Romelu Lukaku won and converted a fifth-minute penalty as Inter struck first at the RheinEnergieStadion
Luuk de Jong's bullet header hauled Sevilla level within seven minutes, and the Dutchman doubled his tally with a second headed effort on 33 minutes
Inter hit back immediately through Diego Godin as a pulsating first half took another fascinating twist, but there was no way back for Antonio Conte's side when Diego Carlos' stunning bicycle kick deflected off Lukaku into his own net with 16 minutes remaining
Sevilla saw out yet another European triumph to hand Julen Lopetegui the first trophy of his managerial career as the Europa League reached a memorable conclusion in Germany
Inter thrashed Shakhtar Donetsk 5-0 in the semi-finals and made the dream start inside five minutes in Cologne when Lukaku was hauled down in the area by Diego Carlos
Referee Danny Makkelie - officiating his first European final - pointed straight to the spot but issued only a yellow card to the Sevilla defender, who watched on as Lukaku slotted his 34th goal of the season from 12 yards
The lead lasted just seven minutes though, as De Jong, hero from Sevilla's semi-final triumph over Manchester United, connected with Jesus Navas' cross to send a bullet header through the defences of Samir Handanovic and into the roof of the Inter net
And the Dutchman - Sevilla's only pre-match change - vindicated Julen Lopetegui's decision to start him with his second on 33 minutes as he met Ever Banega's free-kick and looped an unstoppable header over Handanovic into the top corner
But just as Inter had, Sevilla relinquished their lead in an instant as Godin rose high to head Marcelo Brozovic's cross past goalkeeper Yassine Bounou
The breathless first-half nature transferred into a tense second period that culminated in Sevilla restoring their lead on 74 minutes
After Inter failed to sufficiently clear a Banega free-kick, centre-back Diego Carlos produced an acrobatic over-head kick that struck the outstretched leg of Lukaku on its way into the net
Substitute Alexis Sanchez had an effort cleared off the line by Jules Kounde late on, but a desperate Sevilla rearguard action kept Inter at bay to secure yet another Europa League success for the Spaniards
Sevilla head coach : "You have to know how to cope with difficult moments and overcome them
 This is a feeling of immense happiness
 I'm so grateful to our players for how hard they worked
 Our anthem says we never give up and tonight we proved that again
""This is a magnificent club
 I hope all the fans can celebrate it but with caution
 This squad are great
 They believe in it, what they work on and what they transmit
 Even if we hadn't won, I'd still love these guys, but today we take home the prize
 We always believed
"Inter Milan head coach : "I don't have many regrets now; my players gave really everything they had against a team used to playing these kind of games
"Many young players earned a great dose of valuable experience this season
 They can continue on this path with great confidence
"Newcastle United fans will be scratching their heads after the Dutchman's latest exemplary attacking display
Fresh from sending Manchester United packing in the semis, De Jong turned the game on its head with two first-half headers of the finest order
Having rarely looked like scoring during his barren spell in the Premier League, De Jong showcased his credentials as a top European marksman to ensure his first season at Sevilla ended with silverware
Sevilla return to action when the new La Liga season starts on the weekend of September 12/13, while Inter Milan will kick their 2020/21 Serie A campaign off on September 19
