The third biggest video in April was another Roma tweet, with 1.93m views of a video showing the club’s players and staff visiting the Hillsborough memorial at Anfield to lay a wreath for the 96 Liverpool fans who died in the stadium disaster in 1989.

Roma’s English Twitter account, which generated 93m Twitter impressions and 7.8m video views in April, also finished No.1 out of all Europe football clubs based on Unique Engaged Audience, with an engagement percentage over four times bigger than the second-placed club.

In the table for overall actions on the Twitter platform in April, Roma’s English-language account with 200,000 followers came in 8th, despite being ranked 102nd for total followers.
