The first-ever UEFA Europa Conference League final between AS Roma and Feyenoord had somewhat of an Arsenal feel to it with two loanees pitted against each other whilst a former player and a summer transfer target also featured.
In the end, it was Ainsley Maitland-Niles - who was an unused substitute on Wednesday night - celebrating thanks to Nicolo Zaniolo's first-half strike which separated the two teams and allowed Jose Mourinho to make history by becoming only the second manager to win five European titles.
But as one Gunners loanee experienced the highs of winning a major trophy, it was the opposite end of the spectrum for Reiss Nelson who was understandably crestfallen at the final whistle as he collected his runners-up medal and looked on as Tammy Abraham led Roma's celebrations.
