The first leg match is taken by the Feyenoord. In the Netherlands it ends 1-0 for the team of Slot. The network decides Wieffer at the start of the second half. And, the company will be needed at the Olimpico for the Giallorossi. A Roma unfortunate, who lost Dybala e Abraham by injury. The Argentine with an adductor problem in the first half, the Englishman with a shoulder injury in the second half. However, the penalty missed by Pellegrini at the end of the first half – full post – also weighs in the economy of the match, which could have given a different meaning to the game. There Roma then, after the goal conceded, she tried to pick up the pace and came close to par with a header by Ibanez before (cross after saving on the Idrissi line), and with the right of Wijnaldum out of nowhere. Now the attention is all towards the conditions of the two attackers who have raised the white flag. We hope for a recovery to have them on the field next Thursday, when Roma will have to overturn the result in order not to leave the Europa League.
