🏆👉 Mission accomplished and the party is all for the Roman Gladiators. Roma won the Europa League Quarterfinals Second Leg game beating AC Milan on Thursday 18 April 2024 at the Olimpico di Roma Stadium in Rome, Italy. Roma qualified for the Europa League Semi-finals where they will challenge the new German champions, Bayer Leverkusen. A match that saw the Giallorossi go ahead by two goals in the first half with Gianluca Mancini and Paulo Dybala. At the half hour the hosts were left with ten men due to Celik’s expulsion, but Milan, despite the entry of all their attacking men, did not take advantage of it, only managing to find a goal with Gabbia in the final.
Roma will then fly to the semi-final where they will face Bayer Leverkusen who managed to snatch a draw with West Ham, after winning the first leg 2-0. Milan, with more than one foot in the Champions League, also given the officiality of the five teams for next season, remains with Monday evening’s derby and the search for second place in the Serie A.
Roma won both legs of a knockout stage of a European competition for the first time since the 2020/21 Europa League round of 16 against Shakhtar Donetsk, as well as for first time ever against an Italian opponent.

✅ Stats before the game: Roma have lost three of their last four home games played against Milan in all competitions (D1), one defeat more than the previous 16 (W7, D7, D2). Milan have already won 2-1 at Roma in Serie A this season – the last team to win two away games in the same season against the Giallorossi was Fiorentina in 2014/15. The next one will be the third home match in which Roma will face an Italian team in a European competition: in the other two previous matches the Giallorossi defeated Inter 1-0 in the second leg of the 1991 UEFA Cup final and lost 3- 0 against Fiorentina in the round of 16 of the 2014-15 Europa League. Milan have lost only one of the six European away games played against Italian teams (2W, 3D), even if the defeat came in the last one against Inter last season in the Champions League semi-final.
