No Champions League ticket for Roma yet
AS Roma lost to Fiorentina in the Italian Serie A. The formation of coach José Mourinho saw the home club win 2-1. A place in the top four, good for playing in the Champions League next season, is therefore no longer feasible for the club from the capital.
AS Roma can still qualify for the million-dollar festival if it wins the Europa League. The club will play against Sevilla in the final of that tournament. That’s next Wednesday. Fiorentina will play against West Ham United in the Conference League final.
Stephan El Shaarawy scored for AS Roma after just 11 minutes. He did so after preparatory work by Ola Solbakken. In the final phase, everything changed. Luka Jovic made it 1-1 in the 85th minute, in the 88th minute it became 2-1 thanks to a goal from Jonathan Ikoné.
Georginio Wijnaldum was in the base at AS Roma. He was replaced after an hour.
