“One thing I said when I came here was I was going to help the team get to the final and one day I want to win a trophy. Three Italian fans and two Dutch supporters were also injured. Two separate groups of Dutch and Italian fans clashed with police in the city, injuring 19 officers and five Albanian civilians. You could see, strikers running back, everybody defending and we knew we had to win.” Now we have to celebrate and then start again, which is always difficult after a great victory, but a real team wins, celebrates and starts again,” the Roma captain Lorenzo Pellegrini told Sky Sport Italia.

It's Roma's first European trophy since winning the 1961 Inter-Cities Fairs Cup — a tournament considered to be the precursor to the UEFA Cup and Europa League.

Zaniolo’s goal started with a ball over the top from center back Gianluca Mancini that Zaniolo controlled with his chest. Three Italian fans and two Dutch supporters were also injured. Two separate groups of Dutch and Italian fans clashed with police on Tuesday in the city, injuring 19 officers and five Albanian civilians.

He is both a serial winner and an expert in dealing with pressure at the highest level. Mourinho fields three at the back, two attacking wing-backs, solid midfielders and two dynamic players behind the lone striker, Tammy Abraham. Roma love to attack at pace, getting the ball forward with as few touches as possible. Their resilience came to the fore in the showpiece as they repelled a determined Feyenoord in the second half to make history by scooping the club's first European silverware.

Nicolo Zaniolo's first-half strike proved to be the winner as Roma beat Feyenoord 1-0 to become the inaugural Europa Conference League champions in Tirana.

Chris Smalling was in inspired form throughout, throwing himself in front of a Kokcu shot and seemingly getting on the end of every Feyenoord cross into the box. Gianluca Mancini swung in a superb cross from deep, Trauner misjudged the flight of the ball and Zaniolo was waiting behind to chest it down and then flick a lovely finish over the goalkeeper. Marcos Senesi tried to let the ball run through to his goalkeeper, allowing Abraham to pounce and he looked to be clean through as the defender pulled his arm back.

Nicolò Zaniolo made the difference as Roma clinched their first major UEFA club competition title by winning the 2021/22 UEFA Europa Conference League.

The Giallorossi lifted the trophy as Mourinho once again delivered in a final and became the first coach to win the Europa Conference League, the Europa League and the Champions League. In the second half, we had more possession and opportunities. Chris Smalling, Roma defender: "We knew how much it would mean to everyone in Rome and you can see how together we are until the end. We struggled in the second half; our opponents played well and they forced us to make defensive changes." Arne Slot, Feyenoord coach: "I told the players during the break what they had to do better. Roma won their first ever UEFA trophy, the first ever edition of the Europa Conference League, and did so by taking their best chance, holding firm at the back and keeping that vital clean sheet. Rui Patrício made a magnificent save in the second half which made a big difference in the game. Let's be honest, they were the better team, but Feyenoord had a decent campaign. However, as Feyenoord piled on the pressure, a now compact Roma side dropped deep. How different things may have been if they'd managed to play with such intensity before the break as well. Roma made the first meaningful advance, but Nicolò Zaniolo's outstretched leg was a whisker away from a cute Lorenzo Pellegrini through ball. It was a cagey opening in Tirana, as both sides cautiously probed and looked to test their opponents' mettle.

The goal made Zaniolo the first Italian to score in a European final since Filippo Inzaghi in 2007 as well as a confirmed hero for Roma fans. For 1970 European champions Feyenoord it was their first ever defeat in a European final as well as being the first loss in the competition for Arne Slot’s team.

Jose Mourinho insists he will remain at Roma this summer regardless of any offers he receives from other clubs.

“I have been in Rome for eleven months and I immediately understood where I was. “The Conference League is a competition that we thought we could win from the beginning, slowly becoming stronger and stronger and we met stronger and stronger teams, but we were aiming for it and sacrificed a few points in the league without losing the qualification for the Europa League.” “I want to stay at Roma and we need to understand what our owners want to do next season so that we can follow up on this story, we need to define the direction for next season.

As Mourinho said after the semi-final, "This is a victory of the family. The latter is a new trophy; it is obviously the least prestigious of the three. "After 30 years, the fans of Rome can enjoy seeing their team in a European final. Anyone who has attended a Roma home game this season would find it difficult to disagree. "He takes a player and makes him stronger than he is. Mourinho told Sky Sport Italia. "He is a great player with potential to be even greater." He is amazing and he gets inside your head. As former Portugal international Adrien Silva told GOAL, "It's surprising in one sense, because Roma was having a very difficult time before he arrived. "I understand you needed a big name, but it’s like when you sign a player who is finished. Their belief was that he could do something just as miraculous at the Stadio Olimpico. "You’ve got the worst of the worst,” Di Canio claimed. This was classic Mourinho, of course.

With a few new faces and a radically different philosophy, he’s turned Feyenoord into an energetic, high-pressing side who’ve outscored everyone else in the competition. He took on the challenge of getting Roma back to winning trophies, and is now just one step away from seeing it through. With six goals and four assists in the competition so far, he’s one of the main reasons Feyenoord are in Tirana. Feyenoord were the first Dutch club to win the European Cup – in 1970. Joining the club aged only 18, he’s already been in Rotterdam for four years. He has a unique ability to tie together the midfield and attack, and Mourinho never leaves him out.

As Roma play the Conference final, a look at a player who won European trophies with Fiorentina and Roma, in one season.

That is the story of Dino Da Costa, the man who won two European trophies in one season with two different clubs. That game before the final against Venezia turned out to be Da Costa’s last game for Roma, as he was sold to Atalanta shortly afterwards. On January 12th Da Costa scored in a 4-1 win for Roma over Juventus, and three days later he was lining out at Windsor Park in Belfast as Italy took on Northern Ireland in a crucial World Cup qualifier. That turned out to be Dino’s last game for Atalanta, and he would soon be joining up with Sivori when Juventus signed him for the following season. That former Roma target and opponent with Hibs, Joe Baker, scored a hat-trick for Torino, but his brother Gerry scored one of the City goals which gave them a 4-3 win. In the semi-final, Fiorentina hosted Juventus, with Da Costa scoring the final goal in a 3-1 win to see the Viola reach the final. That wasn’t the end of his Fiorentina adventure however, as a week later in the final of the Coppa Italia they would face Lazio in Florence. After Gianfranco Petris gave Fiorentina an early lead, the game failed to provide much more in the way of entertainment. Former Fiorentina player Lojacono had missed that game as he was expected to sign for Milan shortly and the club were unwilling to risk an injury. Once the Coppa delle Alpi was out of the way, Dino Da Costa was on his way back to Roma. Although we had now reached the 1961/62 season, the final of the previous season’s Fairs Cup had yet to be played. Fiorentina were drawn to meet Young Boys, and in the first game in Berne they suffered a 3-2 defeat, which would turn out to be the only loss by an Italian side in the competition. The forward made an immediate impact, scoring on his Serie A debut, and he also scored against Fiorentina in a 1-1 draw at the end of April. A week later Fiorentina were league champions for the first time. Tonight, Roma return to compete in a European final after 31 years, and the new Europa Conference League competition is where Fiorentina will compete next season.

Jose Mourinho is aiming to extend his perfect record in the European finals. Roma's last European trophy was the Fairs Cup over six decades ago in 1961. More ...

The English striker has enjoyed a sensational campaign, scoring 27 goals in all competitions, including a brace on the final day of the Serie A season against Torino to seal Roma's Europa League qualification ahead of city rivals Lazio. Six years later, Mourinho clinched his second UCL trophy with Inter Milan in 2010 and guided Manchester United to the Europa League glory in 2017. The former Real Madrid boss has won all four of his finals - two with Porto and one each with Inter Milan and Manchester United and is the first manager to lead four teams in a European final. Though not as competitive and glamorous as UEFA's other two competitions, the impact of the Conference League title would be as big as a Champions League crown for the Giallorossi, whose last European trophy was the Fairs Cup - the predecessor to the UEFA Cup/Europa League - over six decades ago in 1961. Meanwhile, Feyenoord would be aiming to win their first European final since winning the 2002 UEFA Cup. The Arne Slot-managed side finished third in the Dutch Eredivisie and head into the game with Conference League's leading scorer in Cyriel Dessers with 10 goals in their ranks. But before the deal was finalised, both Roma and Mourinho agreed that in order to succeed, the team needs to go through the process of rebuilding.

Albanian Police clashed with Roma and Feyenoord fans in Tirana last night and 48 Italian supporters were arrested, according to reports.

Fans of the two teams clashed in the streets last night, forcing local authorities to intervene. More than 50,000 supporters have arrived in the Albanian capital, but the stadium’s capacity is only 20,000. The Rome-based paper quotes the owner of a pub in the city centre, the Dorgen Bar, where a huge scuffle involving Albanian and Dutch fans erupted.

Former Roma midfielder Miralem Pjanić spoke to La Repubblica about a series of topics including the latest rumours linking Paulo Dybala with the capital ...

“At Juve there is a very strong front office, which puts players in the best position to win, to focus only on the pitch and nothing else. He’s doing a great job this year.” He can handle pressure situations.”

Mourinho last won a trophy in 2017, although the Roma boss believes he would have led Spurs to the EFL Cup in 2021.

“When you arrive at a final after a season of work, the work is done. “The ‘Special One’ story is an old story. - 1 x FA Cup – 2006-07 - 1 x Portuguese Cup – 2002-03 “I’ve won 25 and a half trophies,” Mourinho joked last year. I’ve made a small contribution to that.”

In this edition of Inside Europe, Pete Sharland teams up with Stefano Fonsato from Eurosport Italy to look at the Europa Conference League final between AS ...

And I think that a big part of the Italian football problem of this era, (the struggles in Europe) have their issues in this very bad mentality, without a real sports culture. And yes, I think it could take him to a new level,” says Fonsato. “It’s worth stating this: in Italy - like a big part of Europe (remember Brendan Rodgers words about Conference League?) - this competition has yet to find the right recognition. The culture around Italian football and Europe has been very interesting. “Roma's supporters are very excited, you have to consider that,” says Fonsato. “In addition to their normal - very warm – support of their team, they could live their first European triumph since 1961. In the club’s entire history they have just one European title, the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup which they won 1960-61.

Jon Eimer locked in his UEFA Conference League 2022 best bets for Feyenoord vs. Roma on Paramount+.

In Serie A, Roma's games at its home stadium averaged 2.2 combined goals. But prior to that, both teams scored in all 10 of its previous Europa Conference League matches. These are the two highest-scoring clubs in the Europa Conference League in terms of total goals, as Feyenoord has scored 28 goals and Roma has 27. Kickoff from Arena Kombëtare in Tirana, Albania is set for 3 p.m. ET. Caesars Sportsbook lists Roma as the +130 favorite (risk $100 to win $130) on the 90-minute money line in its latest Roma vs. Feyenoord picks from soccer insider Jon Eimer. He is a high-volume bettor who has vast knowledge of leagues and players across the globe. Rotterdam placed third in the Netherlands' Eredivisie and has previously won two UEFA Cups and one European Cup. The 2022 UEFA Europa Conference League final will be the third meeting between the clubs, with Roma holding the 1-1-0 head-to-head advantage.

It's the inaugural UEFA Europa Conference League final as Roma face Feyenoord in tonight's final at the Air Albania Stadium in Tirana.

Abraham has 21 goals for the Italian side already this season - can he finish the campaign in style by adding to that tally? Big news for Feyenoord is that goalkeeper and captain Bijlow is fit and he makes an immediate return to the starting XI. This will be Nelson’s final game before his loan spell ends at the club and he returns to Arsenal in the summer. Mkhitaryan is fit to start for Roma and he comes in to replace Oliveira in the team. Tammy Abraham scored in the 11th minute of the second leg and that was enough to send his side to Albania. Job. Done. A goalless draw was enough for the Dutch side to go through and earn a place in their first European final for 20 years. For Feyenoord, a 0-0 draw in Marseille did the job after they won 3-2 at home and they’ll be looking to mark the 20th anniversary of the club’s UEFA Cup success with another trophy to add to the cabinet.

Minute-by-minute report: Will Feyenoord prevent José Mourinho getting his hands on another European trophy? Join Barry Glendenning.

On loan from Genk, Cyriel Dessers is the top scorer in the competition with 10 goals and will play up front for the Dutch side. Elsewhere in the Roma midfield, Bryan Cristante could start in place of Jordan Veretout. Henrikh Mkhitaryan is also available for selection following his recovery from a hamstring injury he suffered against Leicester. For me, no matter how the final ends, this is a positive season for us.” Tonight’s finallists have played 36 matches between them in the competition thus far and tonight either Jose Mourinho or the considerably less famous Arne Slot will mastermind victory for their side in the first ever final. Not long now: Referee Istvan Kovacs and his team of match officials lead the players of both teams out on to the pitch in Tirana and they loine up ahead of the last of the pre-match formalities. The players of Roma wear red shirts, shorts and socks. It’s the team’s moment, not the moment of an individual. 17 min: Roma substitution: Having struggled to be fit for this game, Henrikh Mkhitaryan is sitting on the floor, hands on his knees and shaking his head. But we mainly have to focus on his team, the tactics and the different ways they play. It goes out for a throw-in near the halfway line. He tries to pick out Lorenzo Pellegrini with a ball in behind the Feyenoord defence but it’s intercepted. 9 min: Good work from Feyenoord’s Luis Sinisterrra (kind of the Latin for left-handed) down the left flank.
