Roma Have Been Crowned The Europa Conference League Champions

Roma have been crowned the inaugural Europa Conference League champions after beating Feyenoord 1-0 in a pulsating final in Tirana.

Nicolo Zaniolo's first-half goal was enough to secure victory for the Italian club at the Arena Kombëtare

It is yet another European trophy for Roma boss Jose Mourinho, who becomes the first manager to win UEFA's three major club competitions.

Mourinho had already won the Champions League with both Porto (2003) and Inter Milan (2010), and the Europa League with Porto (2004) and Manchester United (2017).

He becomes the first manager to win a European trophy with four different clubs and the victory also maintains his proud record of having never lost a UEFA tournament final.

Both Roma and Feyenoord struggled to create clear-cut chances during a cagey first half in Albania, with the Dutch side enjoying the greater share of possession.

But it was Roma who would take the lead shortly after the half hour mark.

Zaniolo expertly controlled a cross from Gianluca Mancini with his chest before dinking a clever finish over Feyenoord goalkeeper Justin Bijlow to give Roma the lead with their first shot on target.
