In the last three years, roma reached the CL last 8 twice and the CL LAST 16 once.
3 years back, roma beat manchester united in olimpico 2 - 1, they eliminated a very strong LYON in france 2 - 0. They beat valencia 2 - 1 in olimpico. While Inter lost to bayern in group stage and finished second and then went out in last 16.
Last season. Roma eliminated real madrid. beating them twice ( in olimpico and in madrid) . Inter went out again in last 16.
This year. Roma humiliated chelsea 3 - 1 and topped their group by 12 points. While Inter couldnt overcome a group of bremen, panathianikos and another unheard team from cyprus I forgot. If Inter didnt finish second in a crappy group like that, they were never going to face manchester united.
Last year Serie A champions are AS Roma, and not inter milan. Unfortunately, people will forget that. As in history books it will be written inter won it. The referees favored inter heavily last year.. and many referee descisions went against roma.
And some great news to totti fans. Francesco totti has entered top 10 goalscorer in serie a history (
Football records in Italy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) . 30 more goals and he breaks baggio's numbers. A huge milestone considering he has played as attacking midfielder his whole career, and switched to striker just 3 years back.
