This evening, at 9.00 pm (live Rai 1, Sky Sport, DAZN), another euroderbya duel between two teams of Serie A TIM: il Milan will face the Roma in a meeting full of meaning. This will be the first ever match between the two teams outside of their national borders and will guarantee Italy a team in the semi-finals of the Europa League. Meanwhile, on the opposite side of the board, the Liverpool will host theAtalanta.
This will be the 198th match between the two clubs, considering all competitions. Valid for the first leg of the Europa League quarter-finals, both teams have overcome challenging opponents to get this far. The Milanrelegated from the Champions League after finishing third in their group, was eliminated Rennes e Slavia Praguewhile the Romasecond in group G, passed Feyenoord e Brighton. The Rossoneri have not reached the quarter-finals of this competition for 22 years, while the Giallorossi are hoping to improve on their performance from last year.
This will be the 22nd Italian derby in Europe, the first dating back to the 1985/86 season in the European Cup between Juventus e Verona. Seven of these derbies have been finals, including a European Super Cup and four UEFA Cup finals, demonstrating the intensity and rivalry of these clashes.
If he Milan has some experience in matches against Italian teams in Europe, with 13 matches played and 5 wins, 5 draws and 3 defeats, for the Roma it will be the fifth time he has faced a Serie A TIM team. Previous ties include a UEFA Cup final defeat toInter in 1990/91 and a double comparison with the Fiorentina in the round of 16 of the Europa League in 2015.
For the first time Milan and Roma will face each other in a European competition; the Rossoneri were eliminated by a compatriot team, Inter, last season in the Champions League. The last time, however, that Roma faced an Italian team in Europe was in the round of 16 of the 2014-15 Europa League, losing with an aggregate score of 4-1 against Fiorentina. The Milan is unbeaten in nine games against Roma (6 wins, 3 draws), all in Serie A, and has not recorded a longer unbeaten streak against the Giallorossi since the period between 1970 and 1979 (20 games in a row). After reaching the semi-finals of last year’s Champions League, the Milan have reached the quarter-finals of a major European competition for two consecutive seasons for the first time since the period between 2001-02 and 2006-07 (six seasons in a row); the Rossoneri had not reached the quarter-finals in a European tournament other than the Champions League since 2001-02, when they faced – and eliminated – Hapoel Tel Aviv in the UEFA Cup.
The Roma have won only two of their last 14 away games in major European competitions (6 draws, 6 defeats), without ever winning in their last eight away matches in the knockout stages (4 draws, 4 defeats), scoring three goals in these matches. Since his first match in this Europa League in February, the Milan is the team with the most attempted shots on target (28) e more goals scored (12). Among the teams still present in the competition Roma are the ones who have made the most tackles in this Europa League (165) and among these it is also the one that has recovered more balls in his own third of the pitch (244).
The return match will take place in exactly one week in Rome, promising further excitement and suspense in this exciting series of European fixtures.
