yes they reached the final of the European Cup and were beaten by liverpoool, the game was actually played in Rome and the Roma ultras gave the Liverpool fans a hell of a beating.

next year liverpool were in the final again against italian opposition and were thirsty for blood/revenge against any italians. their opponents were Juve and we all know what happened next

And Roma are the only team to lose a CL final in their own stadium.

Yes, that was their only EC final.

 

[Ahmedios]

I think that Sampdoria reached the final also once in 1992, when they lost 1-0 to Barcelona.

 

[The Arif]

Six italian teams reached the EC or CL final (Juventus, Inter, Milan, Roma, Fiorentina and Sampdoria) and actually only three of them won the EC or CL (Juventus two times, Inter two times and Milan six times).

 

[Henry]

IIRC a couple englishmen were killed, but it was the day after the final or something like that...

 

[The Arif]

People were killed, and that shouldn't have happened at all.

Isn't that the truth. I'm getting extremely annoyed by these new kids.

 

[Marc]

and the Red Devils

AC Milan and Roma too.

IMO Barca have a little hope on qualifying against liverpool , it is not impossible but very deficult.
i hope valencia qualify and beat inter
i hope for lyon to qualify and beat roma

 

[Ascension]

Barca have around 40% chance of qualifying. It's not impossible.

I'm so thrilled to see Lyon - Roma. I think it'll be a fantastically dramatic and entertaining encounter.
