During his post-match media commitments, Mourinho had to leave early as he was delightfully interrupted by players who cheered and sprayed him with beer.

With all the excitement at the Arena Kombëtare, it was impossible to continue with the press conference and the former Manchester United boss had to abandon his duties.

What Mourinho said after the victory

Mourinho however did get a chance to express himself after the triumph, as he spoke to Sky Sport immediately after the game.

“I've been at Roma for 11 months, I realised the moment I arrived what it meant, they were waiting for this. As I told the lads in the locker room in Turin, we did what we needed to do, qualify for the Europa League. We had great work all season.” He said.

“This was not work tonight, this was history. We had to write history. We wrote it.

Fans single out Smalling as Mourinho’s best performer

Meanwhile, fans singled out former Manchester United defender Chris Smalling as one of the better performers for Roma on Wednesday.

Smalling was in inspired form as he managed to guide the Roma defence to quell unrelenting attacks from Feyenoord, particularly in the second half.

A large number of fans hailed the 32-year old for another successful European cup final with Jose Mourinho, after Europa League success with Manchester United in 2017.
