Roma journey to reach the final round this season was very difficult, although I admit their performance has improved since De Rossi took over the managerial role from Jose Mourinho. Milan is the most difficult opponent for Roma to beat, because in the last five matches Roma has not even been able to beat Milan. So the biggest possibility in the future is that Milan will face Leverkusen in the semifinals. However, everything can change, the European League is actually difficult to predict because many teams perform differently from their domestic league.
Roma progressing improvements in performance under the guidance of De Rossi has been impressive. Having to face Milan is a tough challenge for De Rossi, especially considering their recent record against them. Milan's consistent performance against Roma in recent encounters implies the difficulty Roma faces in overcoming them. The prospect of facing Milan again in the future suggests a tough hurdle for Roma to surmount. But that would be the biggest test for De Rossi to prove his capability to guide Roma for longer period.
The Europa League is renowned where teams often display different levels of performance compared to their domestic leagues. This variability adds an element of excitement and uncertainty to the competition that makes it difficult to predict outcomes with certainty. Milan may appear as the likely opponent for Roma in the semifinals, but the dynamics of football mean that anything can happen. If Roma want to navigate through the challenges ahead, they must remain focused, adaptable, and resilient, prepared to confront whatever obstacles come their way.
