I’ve missed watching Roma matches, and while I appreciated the respective drama both Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo brought to the past few weeks, with Roma in such good form, I’m incredibly eager to get back to business.

Unfortunately, Roma have a rather inconvenient way of getting back into the swing of things: a trip to Lake Como for one of the most intriguing matches on the Serie A calendar.
