On May 6, Beijing time, the second leg of the UEFA Semifinals ended, Roma defeated Leicester City, and Feyenoord eliminated Marseille and advanced to the final! In 20 days, the final will be played.
In the first semi-final, Feyenoord won 3-2 at home to Marseille in the first leg. In the second leg, the two teams had their own offensive attacks, but in the end it was a 0-0 exchange of white rolls. In this way, the Dutch giants eliminated their opponents with a 3-2 aggregate score and entered the final of the European Union!
This is Feyenoord's second European final since the 2002 UEFA Cup, when they beat Borussia Dortmund 3-2 to win the title, which was also won in 1974. Of course, the most glorious honor was the 1970 Champions League.
In the second semi-final, Mourinho led Roma to a 1-1 away draw with Leicester City in the first leg. Back at home in the second leg, the Red Wolves took the lead in breaking the deadlock: in the 11th minute, Pellegrini's corner kick from the right was met by Abraham's header, scoring the ninth goal of the tournament!
With this goal, Roma eliminated the Blue Foxes 2-1 on aggregate to reach the Europa League final. This was their second European final since the 1991 UEFA Cup, when they lost 2-1 to Inter on aggregate over two legs, finishing second, and the last time they won the title was the 1961 International Cities Exposition Cup (the predecessor of the Confederations Cup), but that was not an official UEFA match, so it would impact the first European championship in team history.
For Mourinho, who has already won the UEFA Cup and the Champions League, he will hit the individual Grand Slam of the three major European Cups!
At 3:00 a.m. Beijing time on May 26, the final of this year's European Union will be played in Tirana, the capital of Albania.
