Last week, AS Roma’s 2024/25 European journey came to an end.
Despite having met Athletic Club in the first match of the ‘League Phase’ of this season’s UEFA Europa League and finishing the match with a 1-1 draw, the Giallorossi failed to win in the Round of 16 against the same Spanish opponent despite winning 2-1 in the first leg at the Stadio Olimpico.
Things did not go their way in the second leg at the San Mamés Stadium.
They lost the services of their renowned German defender, Mats Hummels, early in the match.
This caused them to play more than 80 minutes with a numerical inferiority and, therefore, failed to resist Athletic Club’s goalscoring attempts.
In this tactical analysis article, we will shed light on Roma’s defensive issues that resulted in four goals conceded to Athletic Club in the Round of 16.
The analysis will also explore Roma’s overall performance in this season’s UEFA Europa League, highlighting their strengths and weaknesses in terms of tactics and individual performances in this tournament.
After a stoppage-time equaliser in last week’s first leg in Banja Luka, Thursday’s return fixture at the Allianz Stadion in Vienna, Austria, saw Rapid Wien stage a 2-1 comeback victory at home to advance to the last 16 of the UEFA Conference League.
Sandi Ogrinec gave Borac a shock lead midway through the second half, which lasted only four minutes before Dion Drena Beljo’s leveler from the edge of the penalty area.
In the end, Louis Schaub netted the winning goal early in extra time to send Rapid through to what will be their first appearance in a European quarterfinal since their run to the UEFA Cup Winner’s Cup final in 1995/96, where they eventually lost to Paris Saint-Germain.
This tactical analysis will look at some of the keys behind Rapid’s victory in the second leg, which ultimately ended the fairytale run of their opponents from Bosnia & Herzegovina.
