Roma made history at Old Trafford. Thanks to goals from Soulé and Malen, which came in the first 18 minutes of the match against Manchester United, the Giallorossi set a new record at the English stadium.
Never before had a visiting team managed to score twice so early at Old Trafford in a major European match. Gasperini’s team broke the deadlock in the 11th minute through Soulé, before doubling their lead from the penalty spot seven minutes later through Malen.
