BIG MATCH STATS
Head-to-heads
＊ AS Roma and Manchester United have met four times before in European
competition.
＊ Last season, on 4 April 2007, AS Roma won 2-1 at home in the CL
quarter-finals, but Manchester United recorded an emphatic 7-1
victory at Old Trafford six days later, to progress to the semi-finals.
It was AS Roma's heaviest ever European defeat and the biggest ever
victory margin in the CL knock-out stages.
＊ In this season's group phase, the Red Devils beat the Italians 1-0 at
the Theatre of Dreams on 2 October, through a Wayne Rooney goal in the
70th minute. The return match in Rome on 12 December, ended 1-1 through
goals by Gerard Pique and Alessandro Mancini.
European history
＊ In the 1960-61 season, AS Roma won the Fairs Cup, their only piece of
European silverware. They have also reached two other European finals;
the 1983-84 Champions Cup final, which they lost on penalties to
Liverpool, and the 1990-91 Uefa Cup final, which they lost 2-1 on
aggregate to Internazionale. Roma have never reached the semi-final
stage of the CL in their history.
＊ Manchester United have won three European trophies - the 1967-68
Champions Cup, 1990-91 Cup Winners' Cup and 1998-99 Champions League.
Last season, after knocking out AS Roma 8-3 on aggregate in the CL
quarter-finals, United were eliminated themselves by AC Milan in the
last four, losing 5-3 on aggregate.

and are undefeated at home in nine in this competition.

the 3-0 loss to AC Milan in last May's semi-final second leg in Italy.
