Roma are in the Europa League final! Solid and generous in effort, the Giallorossi managed to keep the zero on the lawn of Bayer Leverkusen (0-0) this Thursday evening, in the semi-finals of the C3.
Beaten 1-0 in the first leg, Bayer had to win against Roma to play their first European final since 2002. No small feat for the troops of Xabi Alonso, who broke their teeth against more experienced and cunning Romans. THE Giallorossi defending their large rectangle to perfection, we witnessed a festival of long shots on the German side in the first period.
With 12 shots to 1 (4 on target against 0), the statistics are clearly in favor of Bayer Leverkusen.
However, the men of Jose Mourinho were never really worried, except at the start of the game, on the powerful strike of the explosive diaby who crashed on the lucky bar Rui Patricio.
The scenario of the second half is more or less similar to the first, with a Roma team who were content to defend. And she did it pretty well. Out of offensive ideas, the Germans lost patience, like a Bakker very nervous.
For his part, Rui Patricio, the Portuguese goalkeeper of the Giallorossi, released some important parades which reassured his people. He also saved as much time as possible when he had the chance, which frustrated the locals even more.
Finally, Roma succeeded. The two teams left with no score and the Romans went to the final of the Europa League, a year after winning the Conference League! To achieve the “back-to-back“, Mourinho’s band will have to get rid of Sevilla FC, winner of Juventus.
