Giallorossi won the first leg 1-0

A thrilling contest awaits in the Italian capital Rome as AS Roma prepare to host AC Milan for the second leg of the UEFA Europa League quarter-finals. Under the guidance of AS Roma legend Daniele De Rossi, who was appointed as manager of Roma in January, they have undergone a period of significant resurgence.

Currently positioned 5th in Serie A with 55 points, the team have been performing consistently in the league and are aiming to keep their confidence high. Roma’s journey in this season’s Europa League have been marked by a strategic and determined approach, which was very much evident in their first-leg performance against Milan. They will be full of confidence going into this match.

For the away team AC Milan, the current season is a mixture of solid performances and a few missed opportunities, particularly in Serie A where they are second with 69 points. The defeat at San Siro in the first leg was a big setback for them, especially given Milan’s form entering the game. The team’s reaction in the second leg will be crucial as they look to overturn the deficit and keep their European dreams alive. This will be a close and exciting fixture for sure.

Rafael Leao (AC Milan)

Leão gives AC Milan a creative spark in wide areas where he can terrorise defenders, particularly in one-on-one situations.
