“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. We have worked hard all year.

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. Italy international Zaniolo struck with a well-taken finish in the 32nd minute to earn Roma their first trophy of any kind since 2008 and cap a successful first season for coach Jose Mourinho in Rome.

It's especially terrible that we can't take the cup to Rotterdam." "We put the pressure on them and then you saw they had trouble dealing with us.

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.

It's a bit of cliche, but it was 20 years ago that we last played in a European final. That sounds nice, but it is true. It makes me feel a little old, but it's nice for my career." "This is terrible. I belong to all those clubs because we had these moments together." That is five European finals at Porto, Internazionale, Manchester United and Roma since 2003 that Mourinho has coached in and five times he has taken home the trophy.

Mourinho is the first manager to win European titles at four different clubs, while Roma claim a first trophy on the continent since 1961.

Nevertheless, there was still a budget Europa League trophy to be won, and Wikipedia pages waiting to be updated. Rui Patrício superbly denied Lutsharel Geertruida to keep his side in front, while Chris Smalling repeatedly kept the competition’s top scorer, Cyriel Dessers, at bay. Huzzah! But alas, this was somewhat futile given Feyenoord and Roma had already qualified for Europe’s second-tier competition by way of their domestic finishes.

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.

Jose Mourinho's Roma win first major European title in more than 60 years with 1-0 victory over Feyenoord in Tirana.

“I’ve been at Roma for 11 months, I realised the moment I arrived what it meant, they were waiting for this. “This was not work tonight, this was history. We wrote it. “I am a Porto fan, an Inter fan, a Chelsea fan, I am crazy about Real Madrid. I am now a Roma fan, I belong to all those clubs because we had these moments together. As I told the lads in the locker room in Turin, we did what we needed to do, qualify for the Europa League. We had great work all season. The connection was there for all to see, and Mourinho made sure of it in his interviews that followed.

There were scenes of euphoria on the streets of Rome late into Wednesday night after AS Roma beat Feyenoord 1-0 in the Europa Conference League in Tirana.

The AS Roma victory was also another feather in the cap of coach José Mourinho, who joined the club less than a year ago, and who now has five European titles under his belt. Zaniolo, who described the goal as his "dream", became the first Italian to score in a European final since Filippo Inzaghi against Liverpool in the 2007 Champions League. The winning goal was scored by 22-year-old Nicolò Zaniolo, in the 32nd minute, to grant the Rome club its first major European title since the Fairs Cup in 1961.

Jose Mourinho has finished his first season in Rome with a trophy, and the club need to back him this summer if they want to finish in the top four next ...

But that’s all to come in the weeks and months ahead. Roma had never won a European trophy, and have had to endure taunts from Laziale for decades, who won the very last edition of the old Cup Winners’ Cup in 1999. The club need a regista in midfield, someone to dictate play, as well as several other signings in attacking positions. Before the Conference League final, it was debatable if Mourinho had improved Roma compared to last season under Paulo Fonseca. Roma finished one place higher with Mourinho than under Fonseca, but only by a single point. This season has proven that Roma aren’t serious contenders for a top four finish next season, let alone a potential title tilt. Mourinho’s history tells us that Roma will be much better in the second season.
