That’s because the Giallorossi have lost each of their last seven away games in Champions League knockout rounds.
Their most recent victory was in March 2008 against Real Madrid in the quarter-final.
Even more disconcerting, Roma have not kept a clean sheet on their Champions League travels for precisely 12 years.
Since the 2-0 victory against Olympique Lyonnais on March 6, 2007, they have conceded 74 goals in the next 31 trips, including preliminary rounds.
