It seems the Europa League final still isn't over for Roma fans. After losing on penalties to Sevilla, the Italian fans went to the airport in Budapest to find referee Anthony Taylor.
The British official, who was the main referee for the tense clash, was in the airport with his family when he was found and harassed by fans of the club.
While the Englishman was sat having a coffee, several of the fans got up and began to throw insults at him in the airport.
Luckily, thanks to the swift action by security personnel in the airport, the encounter didn't escalate, and Taylor was taken out of the area to ensure he and his family were ok.
