The Italian side, Roma, have been around since 1927, gracing the football field with their presence from their home ground, the Stadio Olimpico di Roma. While orchestrating their long-standing symphony of football, it's been their fortress, their theatre - a place where countless tales of triumph and tribulation have been enacted over the years.
With a squad comprising of 34 players, the team displays a quite sprightly average age of 24. This suggests a balance of burgeoning talent and just the right amount of experience - a concoction that quite often proves decisive in 'the beautiful game'. Ageing gracefully, while allowing the saplings to grow, tidily sums up Roma's squad ethos.
In the current season, the Romans have been darting hither and thither on multiple fronts. They have shown themselves to be eager competitors in three different arenas.
In the Serie A - by far the grandest stage in the theatre of Italian football - they've managed to secure a respectable 4th place so far. Their duel with the football titans of Italy is one of the most watched spectacles in the game.
Meanwhile, in the Coppa Italia, the side has made its mark until the 3rd round. An impressive run, one must say, keeping in line with the reputation they've meticulously built over the decades.
The Europa League has also seen Roma wave their banner in the League Phase. Continental competitions always offer that exhilarating blend of varied styles and approaches, and Roma have held their own amidst this.
