Itâs the second leg of the most eye-catching tie in the Europa League knockout play-offs. Both of these world-famous clubs have won this competition before, if you define your terms broadly, generously and in good faith: Feyenoord lifted the Uefa Cup in 1974 and 2002, while Roma won the 1961 edition of the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup, not officially recognised by Uefa as a predecessor of todayâs tournament, but widely considered to be exactly that by just about everyone other than extreme pedants or The Man. You get it.

Of the two clubs, Feyenoord have the greater European pedigree, on account of their 1970 European Cup win. But Roma have been their bosses in recent years. In 2022, Jose Mourinhoâs Giallorossi beat Feyenoord in the first-ever final of the Europa Conference League. Then last season, they did a number on the men from Rotterdam again, this time in the quarter-finals of the Europa League, en route to a Budapest final theyâd lose on penalties to Sevilla. How theyâd love to go one better this time under new boss Daniele De Rossi.

Theyâre favourites to end Feyenoordâs European dreams for a third straight season, on account of coming away from De Kuip last week with a 1-1 draw. Igor Paixão had given the reigning Dutch champions a half-time lead before Romelu Lukakuâs 21st strike in his last 18 Europa League appearances levelled things up in the second half. That leaves Arne Slotâs men battling against history: Roma have never lost at home to a side from the Netherlands, while Feyenoord have won only two of their previous 12 European ties in which theyâd drawn the first leg at home. Kick off at the Stadio Olimpico is 8pm GMT, 9pm local. Itâs on!

preamble
This is the second leg of the most-watched match against Thailand in the Europa League final round play-offs. Both of these world-famous clubs have won this competition before, if we define the word broadly, generously and sincerely. Feyenoord won the UEFA Cup in 1974 and 2002, while Roma won the 1961 edition of the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup. Although not officially recognized by UEFA as a predecessor to today’s tournament, it is widely considered to be just that, by just about everyone other than extreme pedants and The Man. you get it.
Of the two clubs, Feyenoord has the better European pedigree, having won the European Cup in 1970. However, Roma have been their boss in recent years. 2022, Jose Mourinho’s Giallorossi They defeated Feyenoord in the first ever European Conference League final. And last season they attacked the players of Rotterdam again. This time in the quarter-finals of the Europa League, they were on their way to the final in Budapest, where they lost on penalties to Sevilla. They hope to progress in an even better direction this time under new manager Daniele De Rossi.
After winning a 1-1 draw with De Kuip last week, they are the favorites to end Feyenoord’s European dreams for a third successive season. Igor Paixo gave the reigning Dutch champions the lead at half-time, but Romelu Lukaku equalized in the second half with his 21st goal in his last 18 Europa League appearances. This leaves manager Arne Slott’s men fighting against history. Roma have never lost to a Dutch side at home, while Feyenoord have won only two of their last 12 meetings in Europe, with the first leg tied at home. Kick-off at the Stadio Olimpico is 8pm GMT, 9pm local time. It’s on!
