It’s quite a moment for a Roma side that has fallen from Italy’s elite, so getting the fans back on their side will be quite a boon not only now, but also to recruit players to hopefully finish in the top four next season. But all focus is on the task at hand of staying in fifth place and winning the Conference League.
The match will be the first UEFA competition final to be played in Albania. The 21,690-seat Arena Kombëtare is the home stadium of the Albania national team, as well as clubs Dinamo Tirana and Partizani. The stadium began construction in 2016, and opened in November 2019.
Jose Mourinho in tears. You can see what this means to José. He will do anything to bring this city, this club, to glory. And lets be honest, it’s a message to the world that he is still THE SPECIAL ONE.
It was a historic night for Mourinho, who became the first coach to take four different teams to a European final after his previous exploits with Porto, Inter Milan and Manchester United. And the 59-year-old now has a chance to go one further and end Roma’s 14-year trophy drought later this month.
Considering Mourinho’s highly-successful resume, Roma made a financial effort to sign him last May. Per Gazzetta dello Sport estimates, Mourinho’s €7 million/year ($7.3m) paycheck is currently the largest for a head coach in Italy, with only Juventus’s Massimiliano Allegri matching this kind of salary.
There was a slight worry as Abraham asked to be subbed out in the 89th minute, but it remains to be seen if he was physically spent or if there’s an actual injury concern. With Fiorentina on the schedule for Monday, Roma will need their forward at his best in Serie A.
But after a rocky start, Mourinho has started to show why he is one of Europe’s most successful coaches. And after shutting out the Foxes with a vintage Mourinho performance, the Roma boss was quick to talk up his team’s displays over the two legs – even if others might see things “differently”.
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. Jose Mourinho’s chance to end Roma’s 14-year trophy drought stays alive as the Italian side craves success as its last piece of hardware was a Coppa Italia triumph in 2008. Roma have never won a major continental trophy.
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.
From there, the defense went to work in limiting Leicester’s chances as the Foxes only had two shots on target for an xG of 0.37 during the match. 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. While it’s a new tournament, the triumph would mean so much for Mourinho and his Roma side if they can see things out.
