Roma need to step it up and continue to set a fire underneath themselves, as this season’s Champions League Final will be held at the Stadio Olimpico.

History

It will be the fourth time the final has been staged at the Stadio Olimpico and the eighth European Cup final to be held in Italy.
Liverpool FC, won the 1977 final there against VfL Borussia Mönchengladbach repeating that trick in 1984 against Roma. Juventus would steal a page from Liverpool and defeat AFC Ajax during the last final staged on the Olimpico pitch in the 1996 final.

Now what is your opinion, do Roma have the right stuff to turn their current poor form around? Will the Giallorossi qualify for the next stage of Champions League play?

Answer the following poll which will be open until Roma’s next match on Oct. 22 against last years runners-up, Chelsea FC.

    Not sure about Roma. It would be wonderful to play at home in the final, but I really don't think that they bought enuff reenforcements to make it in the CL.

    Not a chance and I'm a Romanista through and through. Hindsight's 20/20 but I think the influx of foreign cash should have been opened earlier this year when there was interest. It'll be a long-time before the markets stabilize and I'm afraid if the Sensi's go under the club might be dragged along with them.
