Air Albania Stadium in Tirana plays host to the first-ever Europa Conference League final as Roma and Feyenoord go head-to-head in a historic showpiece.
Roma’s landslide 3-0 win away to Torino on the final Serie A weekend could serve to boost their spirits ahead of Jose Mourinho’s attempt to become the first-ever manager to win all three major European club competitions. It’s been a phenomenal Europa Conference League campaign for Roma. After a top-table Group C finish, they’ve left the likes of Vitesse, Bodo/Glimt, and Leicester City in their wake en route to reaching the Albanian showpiece. A 2-1 aggregate success over Vitesse in the round of 16 has maintained Roma’s 100% win ratio against Dutch opponents in European knock-outs ties (W4). What’s more, ‘I Giallorossi’ have found the net in their last 14 European fixtures outside the Stadio Olimpico, last failing to score in such match-up in a 2-0 defeat to Sevilla in the 2019/20 Europa League last-16 on neutral soil.
In the meantime, twenty years since beating Borussia Dortmund in the UEFA Cup final, ‘De club aan de Maas’ will be looking to win another major European trophy. Feyenoord have enjoyed a stellar Europa Conference League journey so far, going unbeaten in all 12 matches in the competition’s proper (W9, D3). Arne Slot’s men have been scoring for fun in Europe this spring, netting 3+ goals in five consecutive knock-out legs before drawing ‘nil-nil’ at Marseille in the return leg of their semi-final tie. However, Feyenoord’s all-time European record against Italian opponents reads indifferently (W5, D4, L5), though they’ve won two of their three knock-out ties versus such rivals. The Dutch heavyweights can fall back on their high-flying five-match unbeaten run away from home (W4, D1), aware that they netted 3+ goals in three of those fixtures.
