The four goals Cech conceded were the most for a goalkeeper in a Europa League final since Sevilla scored four against Middlesbrough's Mark Schwarzer in 2006.
Cech could have missed the game altogether. Amid speculation he is due to take up a role as sporting director at Chelsea in the summer — something he hasn't denied — some coaches would have wanted to avoid any hint of a conflict of interest.
Not Arsenal's Unai Emery, even though Cech had been the backup to Bernd Leno for most games this season.
