Europa Conference League

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."

The 24-year-old is a force of nature in this form and has a deep emotional connection with the Roma fans. The visitors' wide men Ademola Lookman and Harvey Barnes had been ineffective before the break and it was no surprise to see both taken off at half-time. 'With the difference in size, it was always going to be difficult for Ricardo,' admitted Foxes defender Jonny Evans. Sadly for the Foxes, they did not heed them. They had five players who were big threats from set-pieces so there was always going to be a mismatch and it came to Ricardo Pereira marking Tammy.' It has been a problem all season and Abraham scored when unmarked at a corner. 'I shed a tear at full-time for everyone who loves the club,' Mourinho said. With Jamie Vardy at his sharpest, things would surely have been different. Vardy was isolated in the first half and appeared rusty - no surprise for a player who has spent much of 2022 on the sidelines due to injury. Instead, Abraham did everything Vardy usually does - hassling defenders, spinning into space at speed and combining with his fellow attackers. I've made a small contribution to that.' 'I've been lucky enough to be in more prestigious finals but this made me feel very special.

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.

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.
