That group is still well within Lazio’s capabilities to muck it up.
Easy first place for Lazio!
Wow, PSG and Arsenal in the same group. How is PSG going to play in CL and EL at the same time lol?

Could have been worse.
Betis will be the tough one for Roma, but they should go through.
Lazio should go through too, but who knows with them?
PSG in EL? Oh, they downgraded to EL because of FFP. 😛
Worried about Lazio. Chronically underperformed in Europe, even back in 2000s when they had big names like Crespo, Nesta, Veron.
