Roma's away section sells out in under 24 hours for Manchester United trip

Roma fans have sold out the 3,000 away allocation for the Old Trafford fixture in less than 24 hours, signalling a significant travelling support for the Champions League match on 3 November against Manchester United. The game will be Roma's fourth match in the league phase of the competition. Roma have begun their European campaign with a 1–1 draw away to Fenerbahce. Two further group-stage matches follow in October at the Olimpico: against Real Madrid on 14 October and Slovan Bratislava on 20 October. The last meeting between Roma and Manchester United came in 2021 in the Europa League, when Roma lost 6–2 in England before securing a 3–2 victory in the home leg.

Roma face Como on Sunday in a Serie A fixture that commentators believe could have significant consequences for the title race, with analysts divided over whether a win would establish either side as genuine challengers to Inter. The match comes after an international break, and several radio voices suggest it represents an important turning point in the campaign. With eight teams separated by between 10 and 13 points, Sunday's result could prove decisive in shaping the season's direction. Marcacci told Radio Radio Pomeriggio: "I have positive feelings about this match. After this break, another season begins: between 13 and 10 points there are eight teams, so this matchday can become important for the table. If I had to call it, I'd say Roma will win or at least not lose. But it's too early to say that whoever wins will become the anti-Inter." Pugliese added: "It's too early to say who is the anti-Inter. Winning Sunday's match would be an important nomination, but it's still early, also because Como and Roma are involved in the Champions League. We need to understand how they prepare and manage their energy." Ferrajolo cautioned against drawing conclusions from a sixth-round fixture, noting that last season Roma appeared to be falling out of Champions League contention three or four matches from the end, only to qualify. Pruzzo emphasised that Inter hold a ten-point advantage in his view, and Orsi countered that Roma and Inter will decide the title between themselves, with Como trailing. Melli backed Roma as favourites, while Camelio described the fixture as balanced but warned that Roma will face difficulties without Bryan Cristante. Nardo raised concerns about readiness ahead of a Real Madrid fixture scheduled for one week later, while others noted that Leonardo Balerdi and Matías Soulé may not feature immediately after returning late from international duty. Wesley and Donyell Malen had trained separately, prompting concern from one analyst.

Roma's allocation of 3,000 tickets for the Champions League fixture at Manchester United on 3 November (21:00 at Old Trafford) sold out within 24 hours of sales opening on 6 October at 16:00. The rapid sell-out occurred during the first phase, reserved for holders of a PLUS Series A season ticket for 2026–27, and prevented the subsequent general sale from opening at all. The fixture is Roma's fourth league-phase match in this season's Champions League campaign. The club has implemented a structured ticketing process across three phases. The first phase, running from 16:00 on 6 October to 18:00 on 9 October, required purchasers to enter their PLUS subscription PNR and date of birth via the official website. Tickets could be registered to someone other than the subscription holder during this phase. Each transaction allowed a maximum of one ticket per person. Had tickets remained available after the priority window, general sale would have begun at 12:00 on 12 October and run until 18:00 on 15 October, requiring a personal MYASR account for access and again limited to one ticket per transaction. Roma clarified that the PDF voucher issued at purchase is not valid for stadium entry; the actual mobile ticket with NFC technology will be sent to the email address provided during voucher purchase no later than 18:00 on 2 November. The name entered at purchase cannot be changed afterwards. Data provided at booking will be transmitted to Italian and British authorities for public order purposes. Information on meeting points and stadium access procedures will be communicated through Roma's official channels by 2 November. Wheelchair users must submit ticket requests to the club by 18:00 on 15 October.
