On Thursday, Roma Women will play host to Ajax Women on matchday two of the Women's Champions League group stage.
Roma began the group phase with an away draw against Bayern Munich, while Ajax secured an impressive 2-0 victory over Paris Saint-Germain.
The Serie A champions cruised through a qualifying tie against Vorskla Poltava to advance to the main competition, where they have been drawn into a tough group featuring Ajax, Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain.
They looked to be heading towards defeat in their opening group match against Bayern, conceding two first-half goals to leave themselves with a mountain to climb in the second period.
The Italian club ultimately rose to the challenge as Evelyne Viens pulled a goal back to give Roma a foothold, before Manuela Giugliano scored a stoppage-time equaliser to ensure that her side returned home with a precious point.
