Roma chase Champions League return worth €70 million at Verona

Source: Forza Roma

Roma face Hellas Verona on the evening of 24 May 2026 seeking to secure Champions League qualification for the first time in seven years. Head coach Gasperini expressed his eagerness for the fixture, saying: "It has been a very long week, now it depends only on us." The Italian stated that Champions League participation is fundamental to Roma's future, explaining: "For the club it is important from an economic point of view. The difference between qualifying and not qualifying is significant and allows you to widen the gap with other teams. It guarantees more possibilities in the market, you have greater appeal for players from abroad. Players then certainly have greater value."

Qualification would deliver the Friedkin Group €43.5 million in guaranteed prize money, with further UEFA rewards of €2.1 million per group-stage win and €700,000 per draw across the 2026 League Phase. Four guaranteed home matches in the group stage could generate between €14–16 million in combined ticket and subscription revenue, estimated at €3.5–4 million per fixture. Reaching fourth place would add €5 million in sponsor bonuses and at least €1.3 million more compared to fifth. Total potential revenue across all streams approaches €70 million—more than double the earnings from Roma's Europa League campaign this season. Gasperini noted: "It matters greatly for the club, for the fans, for the squad given that we have been absent for years."

Roma vs Sassuolo: Mora starts, Balerdi in the squad

Roma are set to face Sassuolo, with Rodrigo Mora expected to start from the first minute and Leonardo Balerdi included in the match-day selection, according to the probable line-ups published ahead of the fixture. Gian Piero Gasperini has the possible options for the clash with Sassuolo. The headline notes Gollini is in doubt, and Devis Vásquez is set to be in goal again, which the report presents as a probable change between the posts. The lineup report also touches on the wider context around the squad. Koné has been left out of the France squad by Zidane, and Roma's attack has been described as record-breaking, with Gasperini now able to surpass a record set by himself. Gasperini also commented after the defeat to Manchester, saying: "We dominated." Carrick returned to speak about the victory over Roma, saying: "The first half was not bad."
