After the shambles at Parma there was skepticism going forward. Three goals lead against Shakhtar was not enough to reassure fans for the second leg. Now we can say all is well in Kiev, Roma winning again making 5-1 on aggregate. We are in the quarterfinals.
The only italian team left in all european competitions. To remind everyone that it is a great result because Shakhtar beat Real Madrid and kept Inter at bay. An impressive run to chase the dream, the road to Gdansk. It’s important to give the confidence for what will must follow. The unexpected points left in Parma made the task difficult in Serie A, that fourth place essential to keep up the pace.
The Europa League could be our gateway to Champions League football next season. Who knows. Tomorrow the draw. In the meantime time to focus for the Napoli clash on Sunday. Too many debates on Var referees and reschedules. Time to beat a big team. Our last resort. Forza Roma.
