----------
The 2nd leg at San Mames will be a tough game. I expect Roma to play better than this game and give it their all.
Once again we must give credit to Ranieri who has injected the necessary spirit and pride into the team.
Yes, honestly, this was a very good achievement. At least they saved 1 goal on aggregate. But it is true as you and the people here said that Ranieri must remain alert with the second leg which will be held in Bilbao's home. And they are strong enough for that, especially with 1 goal on aggregate. The euphoria will be different and there will be more mental pressure here. Bilbao is actually a strong club in the UEL, if there are no more red cards, Roma must be very wary of their comeback in the second leg later.
Roma are in a good spot to advance, but it's far from over. With a 2-1 lead over Bilbao in the second leg, Roma have two options: defend or attack.
IMO Parking the bus is not an option. The more they park the bus, the more likely the opposition is to score.
Roma must play like in the first leg. I love how their wingbacks are used offensively. Had an assist last game.
The most important thing about this match is that Roma must show the mental fortitude to see it through.
