Roma and Napoli bounce back in Champions League; Inter and Como play tonight

Roma's win over Slovan Bratislava in the Champions League has also boosted the club's finances, with the three points worth €2.1 million. According to Calcio e Finanza, Roma have collected just over €52 million from Europe's premier competition so far. The total is made up of €18.62 million for qualifying and €30.49 million under the so-called value pillar, the mechanism through which UEFA distributes part of its revenue based on the value of television markets and the historic ranking of clubs. The figure is set to rise further thanks to matchday ticket revenue. Roma are in the Champions League this season after finishing third in Serie A in 2025-26, and the club's haul continues to grow with each result.

Roma's Stadio Olimpico recorded an attendance of 64,399 for the Champions League match against Slovan Bratislava, the highest figure of all the matches played on Tuesday in the competition. The data was highlighted by Football Meets Data, a profile specialising in football statistics, which compared attendances at stadiums hosting the Champions League matchday. The Olimpico finished top of the list, ahead of venues staging high-profile fixtures such as the Parc des Princes for PSG-Barcelona and Anfield for Liverpool-Villarreal. The figure confirms the weight of the Olimpico factor on European nights and the bond between Gasperini's side and its supporters. The result is another sign of the Roma fanbase's commitment, a turnout that once again turns the Olimpico into one of the warmest and best-attended stadiums in Europe.

Niccolò Pisilli scored Roma's third goal and was named Man of the Match as the Giallorossi beat Slovan Bratislava 4-0 at the Stadio Olimpico in their Champions League league-phase third matchday. Pisilli also captained the side for the first time in his career after Lorenzo Pellegrini was forced off through injury, and he marked the occasion by scoring soon after taking the armband. The goal means Pisilli became the first Roma player to score in his first match as captain, a feat that the article notes only Francesco Totti had previously achieved. Totti first wore the armband on 17 October 1998, receiving it from Aldair, and he also scored in that match, a 2-1 win over Fiorentina in the final minutes. The result keeps Roma's Champions League campaign moving with a convincing home win, and Pisilli's double contribution as goalscorer and captain adds to a memorable evening for the academy product. Pellegrini's injury is a concern for the squad as the club continues its European and domestic programme.
