✅ Stats before the game: The match lost by Roma on the Feyenoord field in the first leg match was the first defeat suffered by the Giallorossi against the Dutch team. The Capitoline have drawn all of their last four home games against opponents from this country in Europe (all 1-1). The last three times Roma have played in the quarter-finals in European competitions they have always reached the semi-finals (2017/18 v Barcelona in the Champions League, 2020/21 v Ajax in the Europa League and 2021/22 v Bodø/Glimt in the Conference League ), after being eliminated on the previous six occasions. Roma could reach their seventh semi-final in their history in UEFA competitions and their third semi-final in the last three seasons at European level, after the one against Manchester United in the Europa League and the one against Leicester last season in the Conference League. Roma have progressed in each of their last three knockout ties in major European competitions when they lost the first leg by the margin of one goal, including in this season’s Europa League play-off against Salzburg.
