Rome beat Leverkusen UEFA Europa League semi-final first leg at their home. Bove scored the only goal of the game in the 63rd minute, Roma to take a slender lead into next week's second leg in Germany. The win gives Mourinho the chance to reach his second European title after winning the Europa Conference League last season. However the game in Leverkusen will be difficult for Roma. After Leverkusen signed with Xabi Alonso, they became a very good team. In my opinion, Leverkusen may win the match in Leg 2.
1 goal advantage does not make Roma safe, but it is a pretty good capital for Roma in the second leg later. Leverkusen might be superior but we know Mourinho is a coach with a lot of tactics, we can't underestimate the strategy he uses which sometimes frustrates the opposing team.
Of course, Mourinho won't let them lose, Roma will struggle enough in Serie A, and they will target the Europa League trophy at this time. Mourinho knows exactly what he has to do for it all.
