Current form
AS Roma also won their first game after the World Cup 2022 Qatar. In typical fashion for this season though, namely with a meagre 1-0 through a goal by Lorenzo Pellegrini.
In particular, the sharpness up front will have to improve to make things difficult for AC Milan. What tricks does coach José Mourinho have up his sleeve?
Highlights
Paulo Dybala, of course, returned as a World Cup winner. On Wednesday night, he was taken off the pitch after 74 minutes, perhaps as a precaution. Another notable player in AS Roma’s squad is Stephan El Shaarawy.
From 2011 to 2015, he played for AC Milan. In the 2015/2016 season, Milan loaned him first to AS Monaco and then to AS Roma. That club then bought him over, sold him to China’s Shanghai Shenhua in 2019 and brought him back to Rome in 2021.
Facts
Coach José Mourinho of course won the first Conference League with AS Roma, beating Feyenoord in the final. The club management will of course expect more from Mourinho than a place in the sub-top of Serie A. Of course, the Europa League is still coming up, but the club must also qualify for European football next season.
