Italian teams have been a bit unlucky with these draws recently. You would have fancied them to beat Ajax. Porto will be very difficult.
I also suspect because the Italian season tends to start a little later, the Italian teams are behind on their preparation. I really hope Roma make it. While we make more $ in TV rights from Champions league if they are knocked out....in the long run its better if we can get enough coefficients to pip the English and get that 4th champions league spot.
