José Mourinho had described Roma as "a giant club" lacking a trophy room to match the team`s social dimension and passionate fan base. Well, the Giallorossi claimed their first European title in more than six decades on Wednesday to crown Mourinho`s first season coaching in the Italian capital. Nicolò Zaniolo scored in the first half, goalkeeper Rui Patrício made some big saves in the second and Roma beat Feyenoord 1-0 to win the inaugural edition of the third-tier Europa Conference League. Today wasn`t work, this was history, Mourinho said.

Either you write it or you don`t and we wrote it. I`ve been at Roma for 11 months and I realized the moment I arrived what it meant that they were waiting for this. It`s Roma`s first European trophy since winning the 1961 Inter-Cities Fairs Cup a tournament considered to be the precursor to the UEFA Cup and Europa League. It`s also the first title of any kind for Roma since winning the 2008 Italian Cup. Now we`ve got to celebrate a lot, said Roma captain Lorenzo Pellegrini.
