AS Roma vs Feyenoord
With one European final already wrapped up, it is time for the second one. Roma face off against Feyenoord in Tirana, Albania in a bid to be crowned the first winners of the inaugural UEFA Europa Conference League. This final has been a long time coming for both sides.

They have clinched Europa League qualification for next season, finishing in sixth place. However, a key problem throughout has been the lack of goals. Roma’s 59 strikes. for the season are the third-lowest amongst the top-12 teams.

Feyenoord have stunned quite a few top teams in the competition to get here. They toppled Marseille in the semis, and having finished third in the Eredivisie, will look to end the season on a high. Feyenoord are a young squad, with several budding stars including Luis Sinisterra, Cole Bassett, Orkun Kokcu, and others.
What a road it has been to the #UECLFinal.
