Roma are fifth in Serie A but Lazio, Fiorentina, and Atalanta are all within three points of Mourinho's side, they may need the title to ensure that they aren't in the Conference League again next season. "The fans won it for before the game started. It was a disappointing night in France as Dimitri Payet had to be subbed out only 33 minutes into the match with an injury. With Fiorentina on the schedule for Monday, Roma will need their forward at his best in Serie A. 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. 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.

Feyenoord booked their place in the Europa Conference League final in Tirana with a 3-2 win over Marseille on aggregate.

Jahanbahksh, who has just entered the fray, plays in a brilliant through ball for Dessers in behind, and the striker is in on goal. He then makes a run across the area to try and create an angle for himself to shoot, but his effort from 10 yards out is straight at Marciano! However, a perfect sliding challenge from Peres is just enough to take the ball off the forward in the nick of time! 34’ - CHANCE FOR MARSEILLE! - Milik almost scores with his first touch! 30’ - PAYET CANNOT CONTINUE! - Dimitri Payet goes down without any contact and it looks like he has an issue with his calf. However, OM were then dealt a blow after half an hour, as Dimitri Payet was forced off with a calf injury.

Jose Mourinho remains on course to become the first manager to win the UEFA Europa Conference League after his Roma side beat Leicester in their semi-final.

That proved to be enough to give Roma a 1-0 win on the night and a 2-1 victory on aggregate. Mourinho has not spoken too kindly about Europe's third-tier competition. He said last week that Roma vs Leicester was a fixture that was "too good to be Conference League".

The first Dutch club to win the European Cup when they beat Celtic 2-1 in the 1970 final, they then won the UEFA Cup in 1974 and again in 2002 when they defeated Borussia Dortmund 3-2 in their own De Kuip stadium. The match against Roma will be their 19th game in the competition this season and they will be aiming to win their fourth European trophy. The Dutch club made good their victory in the first leg last week in Rotterdam to set up a clash with Jose Mourinho's Roma in the inaugural final of the new third-tier European competition.

UEFA's ugly sprog? Don't believe it for a second, writes FFT's Joe Brewin, as Roma end Leicester's European final dreams at a thunderous Stadio Olimpico.

I’m not in the Champions League or the Europa League – I’m in this and I’m in it to win it. Ultimately, when you’re not in the Champions League itself, how much does it matter exactly what’s at stake when there’s another prize up for grabs? Most importantly, it gave more of the continent’s clubs a vital opportunity to make their seasons mean something. Generally speaking, the group stage was drab – as it is in the majority of UEFA competitions, with jeopardy at a relative low. It was particularly loud, it was proud – and for Leicester, it was all too much to handle. Fifteen days out from this Europa Conference League semi-final second leg, 100,000 Giallorossi fans were queuing to buy tickets online, in the hope of seeing their side reach a first European final since 1991.

Leicester dominated last week's first leg by almost all measures except the scoreline, although their eight shots off target to Roma's one tells a story of wastefulness that they could rue in Rome. It's a great environment for the game," he tells BT Sport, gazing around and being interrupted by what he describes as a "great noise." 5 mins from KO: The teams are in the tunnel. In another area of the pitch, that might well have earned a free-kick. The medical team are attending to Justin while Maddison takes a swig of some orange liquid. Pellegrini swings in a superbly inviting corner from the right, landing straight on the head of Abraham in front of goal, rising expertly above Pereira, who has had a torrid opening spell. This is a real opportunity for the hosts. 19 mins: Maddison is fouled beyond the centre circle, ending up with a lick of white paint on his face. 48 mins: Leicester win a corner on the left. Leicester have had plenty of play inside Roma's half but are running out of time if they are to make it count before the break. It would be charitable to say that Leicester are knocking on the door; Roma look comfortable and Rui Patricio is still yet to be troubled. Rodgers will be tempted to make changes with a semifinal exit looming if Leicester cannot create more in the final third.

Jose Mourinho said the "sense of family" between his AS Roma club and their supporters was the key to reaching the Europa Conference League final.

"This is a giant club without the trophy room in relation to the social dimension of the club," Mourinho said. But it's been a growth process," Roma defender Gianluca Mancini said. Abraham, the 24-year-old forward whom Mourinho convinced Roma to spend €40 million ($44 million) on in August, has been decisive all season. "But in terms of the way we've created a family atmosphere here, it makes me feel special. "Over the years I've become less egocentric and more like a father," Mourinho said. That is our greatest achievement, this empathy and sense of family we have created with the fans."

Jose Mourinho could not hold back tears at the final whistle as Roma booked their spot in the Conference League Final. 'This for us is our Champions League.

“I am very emotional. But no victories and not many finals. “I felt from day one it is huge.

Roma boss Jose Mourinho says the Europa Conference like is their Champions League after they beat Leicester in the semi-finals.

Tammy Abraham fired Roma into the inaugural final of the Europa Conference League on Thursday with the only goal in a 1-0 win over Leicester City which put ...

Leicester pushed for a leveller but as the whistles reached ear-splitting levels Roma held strong and once Pellegrini's long range effort was fumbled out for a corner the hosts knew they had done enough to write another chapter in the history of the Italian capital. From there the match settled into a pattern of Leicester trying to push past a well-organised Roma rearguard, initially without success as the away side didn't have a single shot on target in the opening period. Roma fans haven't seen their team win a trophy since 2008 and the roar let out at the final whistle was one of massive relief after spending much of the match on the back foot against the Foxes, themselves gunning for a first major continental final.
