Alisson had 94% pass success. Is it the highest ever for a keeper in a meaningful game? I understand Neuer probably has had 100 percent before, but probably only against team's hugely parking the bus and giving him easy passes out (and not even forcing goal kicks, or contesting them). I didn't see the game, but 94% passing completion for a keeper seems extremely high considering Lyon had 39% percent and 8 shots, forced Alisson into making 3 saves and he made a last man tackle.Lopes on the other hand had 15%. 94% vs 15% is a huge contrast for distribution. I'm just commenting on distribution, obviously Lopes made 8 saves.
@Ideas Alison got that accuracy because most of his goal kick was a short pass to the defence
But still appreciate that he have a good game tonight, winning one on one situation with Maxwell Cornet. Unlucky the challenge on Salah isn't a foul and one clearly disallowed goal end the Roma journey.
Why do the refs hate Italian teams, especially in the Europa League. This is the third straight season where a team from Serie a had a goal incorrectly ruled offsides (or the opponent had an offsides goal) that determined who went to the next round? You may think I'm biased and I understand bad calls happen all the time but this is the THIRD (could be more) straight season where this has happened!!!
Typical for Italian teams especially Roma. Play much better than the opponent but just can't put the ball in the net (Lopes playing out of his mind of course). Hoping they can still pull it off.
Roma tend to crumble under pressure and their results have been up-and-down lately. Nevertheless, I'm hopeful they will do what it takes to progress. I wouldn't be too upset if OL go through, but Forza Roma anyway!
3-1 is the scoreline roma need or even 3-0 they have solid defence but Lyon who are quite possibly best team in this competetion destroyed them in stade de gerland. Well it is Roma turn now. If they are serious about their chances in the competition winning against lyon is definite must. Though I'm pretty sure my prediction would not come true. But heck I could wish. So my wish is 3-1 or 3- nil.

@Ideas Also, no other player out of the 21 other starters had over 87% completion. Rare to see a keeper topping passing completion.
Very surprising for me that Roma got knocked out by Lyon over two legs.
9 shots on target for Roma !
@neumi17 This is a fact. Whoever down voted this needs to be locked up.
What was it this time roma?

Let's go Roma! Lacazette will leave Lyon anyway. Tomorrow he will be ready to negotiate :)

@Calcio_Guy And of course the typical offsides goal that WASN'T offsides...
Lopes MOTM incoming
roma to get back to winning ways

@delpiero1100 You've literally been wrong about everything. Just shut up already. No one cares.
@delpiero1100 shut up
