There is not much to say about AS Roma at the moment but the team reaching the final of the UEFA conference league is a huge one for the club and I think Jose Mourinho has done a great job with the club since his arrival in the Italian club.
I compared the team stats for the 2020/21 season and 2021/22, there are just a few improvements and that can tell you how much he has done with the club. It might look like a small achievement but every improvement counts in football, Roma secured their ticket to the UEFA Europa League after defeating Torino in their final league match on Friday night. The team finished a spot above where they ended in the previous season, they have scored more goals with the impact of Tammy Abraham who was signed by Jose Mourinho at the beginning of the season. Roma has conceded less and their success in the UEFA conference league can't be overlooked after reaching the final.
Roma hasn't been the team we use to know in recent seasons, their performance hasn't been stable in all competition. The club last won a title in the 2007/08 season which is about 14 years ago now, the Coppa Italian was the last trophy added to the club trophy cabinet and the fans will certainly be thirsty for a new one at the moment. The changes in the team are very convincing under Jose Mourinho as a manager, the club will add a UEFA conference league title to their trophy cabinet if they defeat Feyenoord in the final of the UEFA competition on Wednesday 25th of May 2022.
It will be the club's first UEFA title in their history and all thanks to Mourinho if they win the title next week, he has a competent squad that can get the job done and as a manager, he is capable of winning the finals. We have seen him win a UEFA Champions League with Porto, Inter Milan, and Europa with Manchester United, he has lots of experience in UEFA competition and wouldn't let this glory pass him by with AS Roma.
They ended sixth even though the league isn't over for the other clubs until Sunday but they had to play their final match earlier because of the final on Wednesday,
There is a lot of drama in the Italian league and tomorrow will decide a lot of things for the clubs especially for Inter Milan and AC Milan as they still lock horns for the league glory even though AC Milan sits on top of the table with two points over the city rival, it would have been a war if the final match was a derby match.
The Milan teams will be marching out into the last game of the season with the desire to win the title, AC Milan needs a win to be confident about winning the title while Inter Milan's hopes of miraculously winning the title are hanging on AC Milan.
Inter Milan has a goal difference advantage over AC Milan and it could make a huge impact if things do not go as planned for AC Milan. It would their first league trophy in 10 years and they must win the match as early as possible to guarantee to break the trophy drought in the club.
