The participants of the decisive match of the second most important European Cup tournament have been identified.
Jose Mourinho once again led Roma to the European Cup final. If last season was “special” with the Romans receiving the first Conference League title, now he will compete for the Europa League winner’s title.
For this, the Giallorossi had to beat the German Bayer in the semi-finals. After a narrow 1-0 home win in Leverkusen, the Portuguese wards closed in defense and, actually playing on the rebound, managed to win the desired goalless draw.
