Roma triumphed with a 2-1 victory over Athletic Bilbao in their first major ‘battle’ for the Europa League Round of 16. The match took place in a packed Olympic Stadium in Rome, which stole the spotlight due to its incredible atmosphere. Approximately 70,000 Roma fans filled the stadium for the game against Athletic Bilbao, and thousands of red-yellow flags waved across the Olympic Stadium, creating an impressive image in the Europa League. The UEFA even made a relevant post on social media to pay tribute to Roma’s passionate supporters, who celebrated wildly at the end of the game following their team’s significant win against the Basques. Despite this, Roma continues to struggle domestically in Italy, risking exclusion from European competitions next season.
