Roma and Leicester City meet for a place in the Europa Conference League final when Jose Mourinho and the Giallorossi welcome Brendan Rodgers' Premier ...

Leicester dominated last week's first leg by almost all measures except the scoreline, although their eight shots off target to Roma's one tells a story of wastefulness that they could rue in Rome. It's a great environment for the game," he tells BT Sport, gazing around and being interrupted by what he describes as a "great noise." 5 mins from KO: The teams are in the tunnel. In another area of the pitch, that might well have earned a free-kick. The medical team are attending to Justin while Maddison takes a swig of some orange liquid. Pellegrini swings in a superbly inviting corner from the right, landing straight on the head of Abraham in front of goal, rising expertly above Pereira, who has had a torrid opening spell. This is a real opportunity for the hosts. 19 mins: Maddison is fouled beyond the centre circle, ending up with a lick of white paint on his face. 48 mins: Leicester win a corner on the left. Leicester have had plenty of play inside Roma's half but are running out of time if they are to make it count before the break. It would be charitable to say that Leicester are knocking on the door; Roma look comfortable and Rui Patricio is still yet to be troubled. Rodgers will be tempted to make changes with a semifinal exit looming if Leicester cannot create more in the final third.

#UECL pic.twitter.com/NuztuBcNF7 May 5, 2022 May 25 - the date for all our diaries! But all focus is on the task at hand of staying in fifth place and winning the Conference League. ๐Ÿ’ชโ€” AS Roma English (@ASRomaEN) #ASRoma #UECL pic.twitter.com/3M4neZxEin May 5, 2022 So if they were to win the tournament, there may be a spot up for grabs in Europa League. Roma are fifth in Serie A but Lazio, Fiorentina, and Atalanta are all within three points of Mourinho's side, they may need the title to ensure that they aren't in the Conference League again next season. "The fans won it for before the game started. It was a disappointing night in France as Dimitri Payet had to be subbed out only 33 minutes into the match with an injury. With Fiorentina on the schedule for Monday, Roma will need their forward at his best in Serie A. Abraham would have another chance after the half but the ball pinged around the box before falling to Kasper Schmeichel, who was able to come out with the save in the end. The inaugural finalists for the Europa Conference League are set: Roma will face Feyenoord for the trophy.. Roma defeated Leicester City, 1-0, to win 2-1 on aggregate and Marseille drew, 0-0, with Feyenoord as the Dutch side advanced 3-2 on aggregate.

Feyenoord booked their place in the Europa Conference League final in Tirana with a 3-2 win over Marseille on aggregate.

Jahanbahksh, who has just entered the fray, plays in a brilliant through ball for Dessers in behind, and the striker is in on goal. He then makes a run across the area to try and create an angle for himself to shoot, but his effort from 10 yards out is straight at Marciano! However, a perfect sliding challenge from Peres is just enough to take the ball off the forward in the nick of time! 34โ€™ - CHANCE FOR MARSEILLE! - Milik almost scores with his first touch! 30โ€™ - PAYET CANNOT CONTINUE! - Dimitri Payet goes down without any contact and it looks like he has an issue with his calf. However, OM were then dealt a blow after half an hour, as Dimitri Payet was forced off with a calf injury.

Jose Mourinho remains on course to become the first manager to win the UEFA Europa Conference League after his Roma side beat Leicester in their semi-final.

That proved to be enough to give Roma a 1-0 win on the night and a 2-1 victory on aggregate. Mourinho has not spoken too kindly about Europe's third-tier competition. He said last week that Roma vs Leicester was a fixture that was "too good to be Conference League".

Roma's 'sense of family' key to reaching Europa Conference League ... (ESPN)

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 โ‚ฌ40 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."

Roma 1-0 Leicester (2-1 agg): Tammy Abraham's header knocks ... (Daily Mail)

Leicester City crashed out the Europa League Conference semi-finals to Roma · Tammy Abraham was Roma's hero with his decisive header on 11 minutes ...

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.
