However, the current standing of this tie and Leverkusen’s history doesn’t bode well for the German club. Trailing 1-0 after the first leg, Leverkusen have only progressed from one of their last 11 two-legged ties in major European competitions when losing the first leg – but that one occasion did come against Monaco in the Europa League knockout round playoffs.
Roma, meanwhile, are trying to do the climb up European football, winning each competition along the way. It started last season with the Europa Conference League, continues this year with the Europa League and would end with the Champions League next season. Or at least, that’s the goal.
Leading thanks to Edoardo Bove’s second-half strike in the first leg, and have progressed from 23 of their last 25 two-legged ties in major European competitions when winning the first leg. This is also Jose Mourinho’s Roma, of course, and if anyone knows how to see out a lead the Special One.
