Lopetegui said: "It always hurts to lose, especially in a final and especially in one we had chances to win. We had to suffer and we were able to hurt them, and they got the winner when it least looked likely.

"We've only been back in training for 12 days and we were able to go toe to toe with the best team in Europe and take them to extra time, which is more than most."

The coach added: "We weren't able to take our chances. They have an incredible keeper in Neuer. But we're so proud of this team, their attitude, their effort, their mentality: they believed right until the end."

Sevilla president Jose Castro also remarked: "I'm so proud of the game these players played, and the lads themselves. We had chances but we didn't have the luck you need to be champions. Bayern were deserved winners. We were really close to getting the win and we now have to carry on growing in order to keep taking part in these kind of big games."
