Jose Mourinho has taken Roma to win the UECL trophy. He has just won his 5th European Final, losing none. A serial winner, Jose!
Nicolo Zaniolo's goal in the first half (32nd minute) was enough to win Roma their first European honour in more than 60 years.
Neither club has been in the quest for silverware on the domestic scene this term, with Feyenoord third in the Dutch top flight and Roma down in sixth in Serie A. But in Europe, it’s a different matter, with both sides now having a spectacular opportunity to end the 2021/22 campaign by writing their names into club mythology.
The final itself was held in Tirana, Albania, with Roma getting past the likes of Bodo/Glimt, Vitesse and Leicester en route. While Feyenoord, saw off Partizan, Slavia Prague and Marseille to reach this stage.
The Dutch club won the old UEFA Cup in 2002, their last continental trophy, while Roma has never won a major European competition with no trophy of any sort won since the 2008 Coppa Italia. Mourinho and his side went all-out to end that barren run.
“Champions League, Europa League and the newly introduced Europa Conference League.”
