To recover from its defeat in Europe, Roma played Juventus in Serie A on Sunday, but the outcome did nothing to advance the team to the Champions League the following season. Roma was only able to draw 1-1 against Juventus.
Romelu Lukaku's first goal against Juventus from open play was negated by Bremer. Moreover, both sides struck the woodwork as Juventus's losing streak persisted. With three rounds remaining, fifth-place Roma sits six points behind third-place Juventus, which has lost its previous five games. Italy gained an additional slot in the tournament for the following season, and the top five teams in Serie A advanced to the Champions League. With two fewer games played than sixth-place Atalanta, Roma is only three points ahead of them. Rasmus Kristensen's header in the eleventh minute of Roma's Europa League semifinal first leg went well, but the team still needed to bounce back from a 2-0 setback to Bayer Leverkusen.
