Roma have four players in the Europa Conference League Team of the Season after lifting the trophy, including Tammy Abraham and Lorenzo Pellegrini.
The Giallorossi beat Feyenoord 1-0 in the Final in Tirana on Wednesday evening and have not stopped celebrating upon their return to the Capital, with an open-top bus through the city.
Their victory was also reflected in UEFA’s pick of the Team of the Season for the tournament, the first time the Conference League has been played.
Abraham and top scorer Cyril Dessers were placed upfront, with Roma captain Pellegrini in midfield.
Chris Smalling, who was named Man of the Match in the Final, is also present along with goalkeeper Rui Patricio.
Even though they lost the Final, Feyenoord had five players in the Team of the Season, as they had been unbeaten since the group phase.
Roma had never won a formal UEFA tournament before, as the Fairs Cup in the 1960s was not recognised.
They had reached the Final of the UEFA Cup and European Cup, a precursor to the Champions League, losing in 1991 and 1984 respectively.

Wow, 5 players from Feyenoord.
Malacia over Zalewski? Geertruida over Karsdorp? Mmm, the rest is ok I guess.. maybe Senesi instead of Trauner. Some guys from Bodo were really good too

I don’t think that is correct. You need a proof reader.
