6 facts and figures after Real 2-0 Roma

0

Despite eventually slipping to defeat in Madrid, Roma continued a run of not losing a game at half time that began well over three months ago. The last time the Giallorossi went in behind at the interval, considering all league and cup games, was Roma 0-2 Atalanta on 29 November 2015. Suffering a double reverse to Real Madrid means Roma have now lost four times this season after the scores were tied at the break, following away defeats to Juventus and Sampdoria.
