In episode 306 of La Magicast, Scot Munroe and Lee Roberts unpack Roma’s 1–0 home defeat to Lille in the Europa League — a night defined by three missed penalties.
Dovbyk saw his first effort saved, then had to retake after encroachment and missed again in almost the same fashion. Soulé stepped up for the third, sending it the other way, but met the same fate as the Lille keeper stopped them all. Roma’s attack continues to struggle, the performance was poor, and now attention turns to Fiorentina away.
Forza Roma, always.
