    FT: Roma 1-0 Feyenoord. It's all over here and Roma are the first ever Europa Conference League champions! Feyenoord threw absolutely everything at the Italians in the second half but the quality in the final third just wasn't quite there for them. Zaniolo's first half goal was enough for Roma to get the win. Thanks for joining us for the final, see you again soon!
