Chris Smalling and Tammy Abraham have gone from outcasts to heroes in Italy

Roma won their first major European trophy on Wednesday evening after beating Feyenoord in the Europa Conference League final in Tirana.

Their victory in Europe's third-tier club competition saw Jose Mourinho pick up his first trophy since Manchester United's Europa League triumph in 2017.

Chris Smalling was part of the United side that overcame Ajax in Stockholm five years ago and played a defining role in Roma's success on Wednesday night.

The 32-year-old defender produced a man-of-the-match performance to help the Serie A side keep a clean sheet and secure their first title since 2008.
