Key Highlights

Roma Looking To Continue The Recent Streak Of Going All The Way in Continental Competitions

Roma boast a track record of reaching two UEFA finals in two years and lifting the trophy once. With their 1-0 advantage from the first leg, they will be confident that the dream of three finals in three years is still alive. 

Club legend Daniele De Rossi has been a revelation since he took over from Jose Mourinho, who led AS Roma to the two finals and lifted the Europa Conference League trophy in 2022. Roma has lost only twice in the 16 matches De Rossi has presided over, and they hope to keep that good form going in their second-leg encounter against AC Milan.  

Milan Looking To Rewrite Historical Record Of Crashing Out Of The Competition Each Time They Lose the First Leg

In the last eight instances where AC Milan has lost the first leg in the knockout stages of a UEFA competition, they’ve gone on to exit. While the solitary goal can be overcome, Milan will feel the pressure of history playing against them. 

The visitors did their best in the first leg but were not clinical enough. They had 25 shots against Romabut but failed to convert any of them. The second leg will call on Milan strikers to be more clinical and take their few chances, given that Roma will likely favor a defensive approach to preserve their lead.
