Final in Tirana tonight. For the first time, the Conference League leads to a cup and it will be claimed by Jose Mourinho's Roma against Feyenoord in the Netherlands. Both, that is, groups from the European shelves, above the middle. No, nothing non-existent. OK, they have lost prestige, but they are not non-existent.
An Exhibition Cup has Rome only as a European spoil. The predecessor of UEFA, that is. And since then he has made countless marches in Europe, but for the first time since 1984 he has reached a final. And if then it was the Champions League, today it is the Conference. If then it was Rome, tonight it is Tirana, if then it was Liverpool, tonight it is Feyenoord. And if then the result was "X" 1-1, today it remains to be seen whether and what will change.
At 1,67 it was offered Roma in 1984 to take the title in the final with Liverpool, at 1,66 is pronounced tonight to be the first team in History to win the Conference League at midnight. Which Conference League What is it? UEFA's desperate move to upgrade the Europa League. And to make the Champions League essentially a league of the few, in order to defeat the intentions of creating a new league outside its bosom, at the standards of the Euroleague. And the Super League as envisioned by the big clubs (Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea, Tottenham, Real, Atlético, Barca, Juve, Milan, Inter Milan) may now have been demolished, but in the ruins still dwell ... ambitious .
Feyenoord's European cap it also relies on past successes, but its trophy case is far more full. And it has not only one mug (also from... exhibitions) but three. The champion of '70 and two UEFA, '74 and 2002! And he also has an intercontinental one, from 1970 with Estudiantes, when the institution was by far more robust and there were no frivolous teams in the bay.
And of course, when Feyenoord were winning European titles, they were not a superpower. Of course, in the 70s it had Van Haneghem and Kindval and Jansen and Israel in its composition. And in '74 the same plus Christensen and de Jong. A good team, that is, but not a behemoth. Such, it was not!
Champions League teams described Roma-Feyenoord by Ceferin. Of course, the strong man of UEFA is playing at home, but tonight's two finalists are not teams of such a level. What do we expect from them? Let's see what fish Zaniolo and Sinistera catch at the highest level in Roma and Feyenoord respectively. And let's find out if, in the end, in order for an Italian club to win a European title, it needs a Mourinho at all costs. Because the last time a team from the Championship won the Euro-trophy, it was "Mu"'s Inter with the 2010 Champions League!
