A little less than a year after winning the Europa League conference, AS Roma is aiming for a new continental title, in the Europa League this time. It will be necessary, for that, to dismiss the Germans of Bayer Leverkusen in the semi-finals, during a double confrontation whose first leg takes place Thursday, May 11, at 9 p.m., at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome.
Stopped for four games in the league (two draws and two defeats), Roma does not approach the first leg in the best conditions. After needing extra time to knock out Feyenoord in the previous round, the task will be just as difficult against Leverkusen. Worn by Moussa Diaby, Florian Wirtz, Jeremie Frimpong or even Amine Adli, Bayer can believe in its chances.
On the benches, the remote duel between José Mourinho and his former player Xabi Alonso will be closely followed.
