The club from Italy's capital defeated Feyenoord 1-0 in the first ever Conference League final in Tirana, Albania, with Nicolo Zaniolo scoring the only goal of the game in the first half.
Match Report
After a very cagey start to the game, with strong challenges from both sides, it was Feyenoord who took control and who dominated possession.
However, the Dutch side couldn't turn that into real chances and it was Roma who took the lead during the first half, with Zaniolo doing well to control a Gianluca Mancini ball and nudge it past Justin Bijlow in the 32nd minute.
Mourinho's side took that lead in to the break, but Feyenoord looked to get straight back into it at the start of the second half and a dangerous low ball was turned onto his own post by Mancini, with the Italians eventually managing to clear and survive a VAR check for a potential handball penalty.
But, the Eredivisie team kept up the pressure and Rui Patricio had to do very well to tip a Tyrell Malacia shot off the post and away.
There was another scare for Roma when Cyriel Dessers burst through on the hour mark, even if a handball meant it wouldn't have counted even if he had scored.
The Giallorossi improved, though, and put in a solid defensive effort over the final half hour of the game, nursing their slender lead all the way to the end and breathing a sigh of relief when Bryan Linssen wasted a stoppage time chance.
It is a memorable night for Roma, who win their first trophy since the 2008 Coppa Italia, while this was also the first European trophy lifted by an Italian side since the Champions League won by Mourinho's Inter in 2010.

1st fact: All Goal said is true. 2nd fact: Since he last won 🏆 for United, they have never won an eggshell. 3rd: Tottenham's addiction to a trophyless history caused them to miss once in a decade trophy 🏆 with the special one. 4th: whatever you think about my comment should be a fact Congratulations, the Special One.

Tottenham is the only club Mourinho managed and did won a trophy.. I'm not surprised. He got them to a final and they were afraid he will win them a trophy, so they make sure they sacked him quickly 😭😭😭

Jose Mourinho winning Roma's first trophy in 14 years is actually a bigger achievement than Pep winning the Premier League with a billion dollar squad.
