The game against Real Madrid was Roma's 40th home match in the Champions League. The list begins against none other than Los Blancos, who beat the Giallorossi 2-1 on 11 September 2001 in the latter's first match in the competition's current format. It was a historic occasion - played in a surreal atmosphere to say the least, a few hours on from the terrorist attacks on the Pentagon and New York's World Trade Center - with Francesco Totti scoring Roma's first goal in the Champions League from the spot to take his tally to nine goals in 27 appearances in Europe.

Totti came on for Florenzi for his 97th appearance in Europe with Roma. The captain comfortably leads the way for Giallorossi appearance makers on the continent.

1988

Roma have gone through just once having lost the first leg of a European tie at home. It came in the first round of the 1988-89 UEFA Cup against German side Nürnberg. The visitors won 2-1 at the Stadio Flaminio, before Roma beat them 3-1 in Germany. Since Roma's debut in continental action in 1931, the club have lost eight knockout first leg ties, drawing five and winning 34. Before Real Madrid, only First Vienna (1931), Ferencvaros (1965), Benfica (1983), Nürnberg (1988), Liverpool (2001), Manchester United (2008) and Shakhtar Donetsk (2011) had beaten Roma in the first leg in the capital.
