Leicester City fans have started arriving in the Italian capital ahead of their Europa Conference League semi-final against Roma, with a sizeable away support expected.
The first leg between the Giallorossi and the Foxes finished 1-1 at the King Power stadium following a goal from Lorenzo Pellegrini and an unfortunate own goal by Gianluca Mancini. The Roman club are now only one game away from reaching a European cup final, and they’re feeling confident with their home fans behind them.
As reported by Il Messaggero, a sizeable number of Leicester City fans are set to support the team at the Stadio Olimpico on Thursday, with around 3,200 supporters expected. They have already started to arrive in the Italian capital in order to soak in the spirit ahead of the electric encounter.
It’ll be a special match in particular for Claudio Ranieri, who is a childhood fan of Roma but a club legend with Leicester following his incredible Premier League success in the 2015-16 season.

wasted trip you will go home sorry. Roma always!
At least they’ll enjoy some sun and good food before returning to their dull, grey town.
Hopefully the Roma tifosi will not be violent.
