'Shows how much he loves it': Mourinho a tearful mess after Italian giants secure 30-year first.

Our Achilles heel all season has been set pieces and it was again tonight.” - ‘Giant club’ - Roma’s last European final -- in the old UEFA Cup -- was lost to Inter Milan in 1991 and the pre-match atmosphere was as feverish as could be expected for one of Europe’s most passionate and long-suffering fan bases. “This is a giant club without the trophy room in relation to the social dimension of the club. The win was for them and my team. The Portueguese maanger could not hold back tears at the full time whistle. Leicester pushed for a leveller but, as the whistles reached ear-splitting levels, Roma held strong and once Pellegrini’s long-range effort was fumbled out for a corner in the final moments Roma knew they had done enough to write another chapter in the history of the Eternal City. Hopefully we can go all the way.”

Tammy Abraham continued his impressive season by rising higher than everyone else to score his ninth goal in 12 Conference League matches. IT HAD TO BE TAMMY.

But all focus is on the task at hand of staying in fifth place and winning the Conference League. 💪— AS Roma English (@ASRomaEN) #ASRoma #UECL pic.twitter.com/3M4neZxEin May 5, 2022 So if they were to win the tournament, there may be a spot up for grabs in Europa League. Roma are fifth in Serie A but Lazio, Fiorentina, and Atalanta are all within three points of Mourinho's side, they may need the title to ensure that they aren't in the Conference League again next season. "The fans won it for before the game started. It was a disappointing night in France as Dimitri Payet had to be subbed out only 33 minutes into the match with an injury. With Fiorentina on the schedule for Monday, Roma will need their forward at his best in Serie A. Abraham would have another chance after the half but the ball pinged around the box before falling to Kasper Schmeichel, who was able to come out with the save in the end. The inaugural finalists for the Europa Conference League are set: Roma will face Feyenoord for the trophy.. Roma defeated Leicester City, 1-0, to win 2-1 on aggregate and Marseille drew, 0-0, with Feyenoord as the Dutch side advanced 3-2 on aggregate.

Feyenoord booked their place in the Europa Conference League final in Tirana with a 3-2 win over Marseille on aggregate.

Jahanbahksh, who has just entered the fray, plays in a brilliant through ball for Dessers in behind, and the striker is in on goal. He then makes a run across the area to try and create an angle for himself to shoot, but his effort from 10 yards out is straight at Marciano! However, a perfect sliding challenge from Peres is just enough to take the ball off the forward in the nick of time! 34’ - CHANCE FOR MARSEILLE! - Milik almost scores with his first touch! 30’ - PAYET CANNOT CONTINUE! - Dimitri Payet goes down without any contact and it looks like he has an issue with his calf. However, OM were then dealt a blow after half an hour, as Dimitri Payet was forced off with a calf injury.

Jose Mourinho remains on course to become the first manager to win the UEFA Europa Conference League after his Roma side beat Leicester in their semi-final.

That proved to be enough to give Roma a 1-0 win on the night and a 2-1 victory on aggregate. Mourinho has not spoken too kindly about Europe's third-tier competition. He said last week that Roma vs Leicester was a fixture that was "too good to be Conference League".

Feyenoord are through to their first European final in two decades after holding Marseille to a 0-0 draw in France on Thursday to win their Europa ...

The first Dutch club to win the European Cup when they beat Celtic 2-1 in the 1970 final, they then won the UEFA Cup in 1974 and again in 2002 when they defeated Borussia Dortmund 3-2 in their own De Kuip stadium. The match against Roma will be their 19th game in the competition this season and they will be aiming to win their fourth European trophy. The Dutch club made good their victory in the first leg last week in Rotterdam to set up a clash with Jose Mourinho's Roma in the inaugural final of the new third-tier European competition.

Jose Mourinho could not hold back tears at the final whistle as Roma booked their spot in the Conference League Final. 'This for us is our Champions League.

“I am very emotional. But no victories and not many finals. “I felt from day one it is huge.

Jose Mourinho said the "sense of family" between his AS Roma club and their supporters was the key to reaching the Europa Conference League final.

"This is a giant club without the trophy room in relation to the social dimension of the club," Mourinho said. But it's been a growth process," Roma defender Gianluca Mancini said. Abraham, the 24-year-old forward whom Mourinho convinced Roma to spend €40 million ($44 million) on in August, has been decisive all season. "But in terms of the way we've created a family atmosphere here, it makes me feel special. "Over the years I've become less egocentric and more like a father," Mourinho said. That is our greatest achievement, this empathy and sense of family we have created with the fans."
