AS Roma did a fine job under Jose Mourinho to beat Feyenoord in the final clash of the inaugural edition of the Europa Conference League and lift their first-ever title since 2008. This historic win sent a wave of joy across the players, support staff, and AS Roma fans. Jose Mourinho was even seen in tears after the final whistle.
However, he got himself together and then continued the celebration with the players afterwards. Mourinho looked in a great mood during the team’s celebratory parade. And the man who is famous for his 'park the bus' reputation literally parked a bus. Mourinho was seen driving the parade bus before it went out on the roads of Rome. In the viral video, Mourinho is seen attempting to drive the bus while others cheer for him. He almost crashed the bus while trying to test it.
Although Mourinho could not get a hold of the bus steering, he enjoyed his time during the parade. The Roma manager was later seen waving at supporters and from the top of the parade bus as it drove past the Colosseum.

Nicolo Zaniolo helps AS Roma win
It was a fighting performance from AS Roma to keep Feyenoord deprived of a goal throughout the game in the big Europa Conference League Final. Nicolo Zaniolo was the star for Roma as the Italian striker scored in the 32nd minute to give his team a 1-0 lead which proved to be the difference in the end.
Mourinho's team rode their luck, with Feyenoord having the lion's share of the play and twice striking the woodwork in the second half. But AS Roma remained solid in the face of Dutch dominance and brought joy to one of Europe's most passionate and success-starved fan bases.
