Nicolo Zaniolo won Roma their first-ever major European trophy on Wednesday with the only goal in a 1-0 win over Feyenoord in the inaugural Europa Conference League final.<\/p>\n

Italy international Zaniolo struck with a well-taken finish in the 32nd minute to earn Roma their first trophy of any kind since 2008 and cap a successful first season for coach Jose Mourinho in Rome.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a real struggle but I\u2019m really happy,\u201d Zaniolo said to Sky.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was my dream and now I\u2019ve done it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mourinho\u2019s team rode their luck, with Feyenoord having the lion\u2019s share of the play and twice striking the woodwork in the second half.<\/p>\n

But they remained solid in the face of Dutch dominance and brought joy to one of Europe\u2019s most passionate and success-starved fan bases.<\/p>\n

Over 50,000 fans packed the Stadio Olimpico in the Italian capital to watch their team make a little piece of history in Albania.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the small corner of supporters allowed into Tirana\u2019s National Stadium roared with delight once referee Istvan Kovacs blew his whistle to end their team\u2019s trophy drought.<\/p>\n

For 1970 European champions Feyenoord it was their first-ever defeat in a European final as well as being the first loss in the competition for Arne Slot\u2019s team.<\/p>\n
