After Roma’s first two Champions League turns, an away draw against Fenerbahçe on Matchday 1 and last weekend’s disaster against Real Madrid, Gian Piero Gasperini was wise to preach caution ahead of yesterday’s clash against Slovan Bratislava.
Aside from their manager, Yaya Touré, who won this competition as a Barcelona player in 2008-2009, the Slovakian side doesn’t boast many household names. Still, to borrow a phrase from NFL lore, any team can win on any given Sunday, so Gasperini was wise to exercise caution on Tuesday.
Clichés aside, Roma didn’t take long to separate themselves from Touré’s club, securing their first Champions League win of the season in a 4-0 romp at the Stadio Olimpico.
