Learn English Through Football Language Podcast: 2023 Europa League Winners
DF: Hello again everyone and welcome to Languagecaster.com – the football-language podcast for learners and teachers of English. I’m Damian and I’m here in London, while the other member of the languagecaster team is Damon who is in Tokyo, Japan. Now recently we posted a football language podcast on the language of relegation and specifically the term ‘survival‘ which was used to describe the teams that were not relegated on the final day of the season – they avoided the drop. Well, on this football-language podcast we look at some of the language from the 2023 Europa League final between Sevilla and Roma which was won by the Spanish side on penalties. Sevilla have now won this competition on seven occasions which is a remarkable achievement and thanks to this win they will play in next season’s Champions League.

So, congratulations to Sevilla after another victory in the Europa League. They defeated Jose Mourinho’s Roma side who were trying to win their second European title in a row after winning last season’s Europa Conference League. It was not a game for the purists with lots of stoppages in play, tough tackling and arguments with the referees.
