Roma Women return to the Tre Fontane on Wednesday evening for a demanding European appointment with Barcelona, a fixture that will test Gianpiero Piovani’s side at the start of their UEFA Women’s Champions League group-stage campaign.
A major examination in the capital
The second round of the group phase brings Barcelona to Rome with the Catalan club carrying both pedigree and momentum. Four-time European champions, Barcelona have won every previous meeting with Roma and began this campaign with a 5-2 victory over Paris FC.
Roma, by contrast, opened their continental season with a draw. The Giallorosse now have the opportunity to build on that first point in front of their home support against one of the competition’s established forces.
Piovani described the occasion as “a good test”, a fair assessment of a night in which Roma’s progress will be measured against a side accustomed to competing deep into Europe’s biggest matches.
