Roma hold a narrow 2-1 advantage from the first leg.

Roma in the last-16

Including both the European Cup and its replacement, the Champions League, Roma have played in the last-16 of the competition on seven different occasions. This tie with Porto is the eighth.

To date Roma have progressed four times and lost the tie on the other three occasions – including one win and one defeat apiece against Shakhtar Donetsk and Real Madrid.

The four away precedents

For the fifth time Roma will play the second leg of their Champions League last-16 tie away from home. On the previous four occasions, Roma progressed twice and went out twice – the most recent coming in the exit to Real Madrid in 2016.

Victories came against Lyon (2007) and Real Madrid (2008), with the other defeat coming at the hands of Shakhtar (2011).

Second leg record says boom or bust


In their six previous last-16 second leg matches, the Giallorossi have won four games and lost two – never drawing the game. A draw against Porto would send the Giallorossi through, of course….

Roma’s four wins came against: Lyon, Real Madrid, Arsenal and Shakhtar Donetsk (last season). The two defeats came against Real Madrid and Shakhtar Donetsk.

Centenary game

If we ignored play-off ties, Wednesday’s match at the Estadio do Dragao will be the club’s 100th in Europe’s greatest club competition. To date Roma’s record: 36 wins, 25 draws, 38 defeats, with 130 goals scored and 146 conceded.

The overall record

Including the original European Cup, Roma have played 110 games in Europe’s biggest club competition in their history: winning 41 games, losing 42.
