The Spanish side won the trophy after a tense 1-1 draw was followed by a 4-1 penalty shootout.
However, Taylor did not win over many fans as he gave Gonzalo Montiel another chance to take his winning penalty after Rui Patricio’s encroachment.
The official also denied Roma two penalty kicks in the game, leading to manager Jose Mourinho labelling him a “disgrace”.
He has now been mobbed by the club’s fans as he entered the airport ahead of leaving Hungary.
Supporters can be heard chanting at him as he makes his way through the crowd with a police escort.
Italian media have labelled the incident as “chaos Taylor” as he was surrounded by angry fans.
At one moment, a water bottle was thrown towards Taylor, causing him to look around nervously.
